In mid-January 2026, the Internal Security Bureau detained an official of the Main Criminal Police Department of the State Police on suspicion of unlawfully accessing and disclosing restricted information. By using access rights to information systems granted for the performance of official duties, the official conducted checks of personal data without lawful grounds and disclosed the obtained information to a third party. The criminal offence was detected in cooperation with the State Police.
Security measures not involving deprivation of liberty have been applied to the State Police official, including a prohibition on performing official duties.
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.
