Police officers will not face criminal charges after the scandal in the service vehicle

By order of the police chief, the suspension of both officers has been extended until the disciplinary proceedings are completed. The commission reviewing the case consists of a senior police officer and two representatives from the legal department.

Authorities have not disclosed the exact wording of the charges, but it is known that both are accused of inappropriate conduct, and the officer on duty also of dereliction of duty. If found guilty, they could face dismissal.

Until the conclusion of the hearings, both officers remain suspended.
