Interior Minister Marcel Vela announced on Saturday that he has received the report containing the recordings of the conversations of the Gendarmerie from the evening of August 10, 2018, due to get to the Directorate for Investigating Organised Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) on Monday.
He stated that the Military Prosecutor's Office has requested the Interior Ministry (MAI) and the Gendarmerie for some time for this declassification, but they have been refused, and those who have hindered the declassification will have to give some "administrative explanations".
"The Military Prosecutor's Office has requested the MAI and the Gendarmerie for some time now and they have been refused. Now, I have requested the declassification from the very beginning of my term, it has been delayed until last night. We can, therefore, draw the conclusion that somebody didn't want them declassified, but in the end it was achieved. (...) The gendarmes from the structures of the MAI that obstructed the declassification will give some administrative explanations in the next period," said Vela.
