This morning, the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS), the Internal Protection and Anti-Corruption Service (SPIA) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) jointly with the Prosecutor's Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases detained six former and current employees of the MIA during the criminal investigation of a case related to a fabricated criminal case with multiple counts.
The SIS has documented the fabrication of a criminal case on a sexual offence allegedly committed by a former MIA employee, which led to a criminal investigation.
The suspects, using their special status, allegedly recruited a person to file deliberately a false report and assisted her with special devices in providing false testimonies.
If the defendants are found guilty, they will face from 2 to 7 years of imprisonment with the prohibition of the right to exercise certain official duties for a period of 5 to 10 years.
