ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) shed more light Thursday evening on a recent suspected bribery case involving a former interior minister. The alleged bribe was intended to speed up the bankruptcy proceedings of a real estate firm, which had already been dragging on for over three years, allegedly so the former minister, Ain Seppik, and his associates, could take control of the firm.
The police on Tuesday detained a former interior minister on suspicion of bribery. The alleged bribes, totaling €100,000, were aimed at heading off bankruptcy proceedings or obtaining a favorable decision in same, potentially to the detriment of creditors.
