This was announced on Monday, August 7, by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
“The prosecutor noted the reasonableness of the suspicion and the existence of risks associated with the said person’s stay in office, since the alleged crime is closely related to the position held by the suspect, however, the appeal example upheld the decision of the investigating judge, who denied the removal application,” SAPO said. .
