A 21-page criminal complaint was submitted to the State Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday by MP Mart Helme (EKRE) over former finance minister Keit Pentus-Rosimannus' (Reform) application for the European Court of Auditors.
Verbal questioning of Finance Minister Keit Pentus-Rosimannus (Reform) following her nomination as Estonia's representative at the European Court of Auditors (ECA) will take place in November at the earliest, though the minister has already sent off answers to the written aspect of her nomination.
The State Prosecutor sees no indication that the nomination process of the current finance minister to candidacy for Estonia's next representative at the European Court of Auditors contained any criminal aspect.
Finance Minister Keit Pentus-Rosimannus (Reform) says she will not be running in next spring's Riigikogu elections, and will not be taking part in domestic politics, should she be appointed as Estonia's new representative at the European Court of Auditors (ECA).
Appointing Estonia's European Court of Auditors (ECA) member is a matter of political agreement between party leaders. It is ugly that Isamaa is using its friends and persons close to it to put strain on the process, Reform leader, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said on the "Terevisioon" morning show.
