According to the Prosecution’s statement, the allegations center on actions that allegedly took place between February 2, 2023, and November 2, 2023.

These alleged attempts were directed against various persons who are not currently facing formal charges in the proceedings.
The scheduling of these closing statements marks a critical phase in the judicial process, providing the opportunity for all parties to summarize their arguments before the court. The proceedings are expected to address the scope of the alleged influence campaigns and the subsequent impact on the witnesses involved.
