Talks underway with PG office to decide on prosecution in 10 cases
He said the PG had decided that charges could be filed in four of the 10 cases. He pointed out that five cases had been sent back for review two days ago.
"In one case, it has been decided that they cannot be charged, out of the 10 cases sent to the PG so far. In addition, the AG has forwarded some of these cases to MMPRC for submission to the Civil Court in order to recover funds from the cases being investigated by the ACC. We believe that these things will continue," he said.
