In the first half of February, the Internal Security Bureau detained an official of the Main Public Order Police Department of the State Police on suspicion of money laundering committed by a group of persons pursuant to prior agreement.
The State Police official involved in the alleged criminal offence has been granted the status of a person entitled to defence, and a security measure not involving deprivation of liberty has been applied.
It should be noted that the Internal Security Bureau received the criminal case from the State Police for continuation of the pre-trial investigation in accordance with institutional jurisdiction.
In the interests of the investigation, no further information is currently provided.
The Internal Security Bureau reminds that no person shall be considered guilty of committing a criminal offence until their guilt has been proven in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Criminal Procedure Law.
The Internal Security Bureau is a public administration authority under the direct supervision of the Minister of the Interior. Its functions include detecting, investigating, and preventing criminal offences committed by employees of institutions subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior (except the State Security Service) and by employees of the Prison Administration, as well as investigating criminal offences involving violence committed in the performance of official duties by employees of the Port Police and municipal police.
