- The bureau stated the interference violated the law and noted the operations were conducted under the oversight of the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
- Investigators have outlined an alleged organized scheme in which sitting lawmakers received illicit payments to influence parliamentary votes.
