Namely, the law strictly stipulates that the prosecutor was obliged to specify precisely in the Order on the expansion of the investigation and list the evidence from which there is a well-founded suspicion of a committed criminal act, which is not the case here, but instead of the application of the law, flat and arbitrary statements are given as an explanation, which in fact clearly confirm that the mentioned act does not contain the elements required by the law and that it is being violated for the purpose of political persecution imperative legal regulations", the statement concluded.
