Prosecutor general's office: Leak has not compromised proceedings
Spokesperson for the Office of the Prosecutor General Kairi Kungas told BNS Friday that: "Our position is that the publication of a story in the media has not rendered establishing the truth in the ongoing criminal proceeding impossible or made it substantially more difficult."
"Furthermore, the prosecutor's office does not see the publication of the story in the media either rendering impossible or making more difficult the lodging of charges in subsequent stages of the proceedings. Nor can it be considered unimportant that a number of public procedural acts have already been conducted in the criminal proceeding, and that the publication of information has not rendered impossible the procedural acts to be conducted in the future, or planned procedural acts," Kungas said.
