July 3, 2026
The criminal investigation into the 'Mafia State' case begins with investigators who have connections to the case, raising concerns about the independence of the process. The Minister of Justice appointed five criminal investigators, including well-known figures in the legal field. However, there are concerns regarding the impartiality and involvement of two of these members, who have prior relations with the accused. The investigation is expected to be conducted with assistance from the police and legal department. The central question that remains is who will decide on potential criminal prosecutions.
