The Chief Public Prosecutor decided to remove Head of Public Prosecution for Organized Crime and Corruption Vilma Ruskovska from her position while a criminal procedure initiated after a criminal report was filed against her is under way, in accordance with the Law on Public Prosecution.
The Chief Public Prosecutor Ljubomir Joveski has filed a proposal on opening a disciplinary procedure aimed at establishing the responsibility of three public prosecutors, suspected of “making a major professional blunder with intention and without justification”, the Public Prosecutor’s Office said.
