The investigation ban for the “Mazuti” case is lifted; the Prosecutor’s Office must continue the proceedings.

The High Public Prosecution in Skopje has rescinded its previous decision to suspend the inquiry into the supply of maize intended for TEC Negotinë. This reversal comes despite opposition from SHA Electranes of North Macedonia. The ongoing investigation pertains to allegations of misconduct involving public procurement procedures and the misuse of public funds.

The scope of the investigation is significant, encompassing thirteen individuals and one legal entity. The High Prosecution determined that the expert reports that formed the basis for the initial decision to halt proceedings contained deficiencies. Consequently, the office has directed the Organized Crime and Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to resume the proceedings.

Specifically, the order mandates the continuation of the investigation, the collection of supplementary data, and the execution of new expert analyses. This action signals a commitment to thoroughly examining the financial and procedural aspects of the procurement process. The revised directive aims to build a more comprehensive case file regarding the suspected misuse of public resources.

The reinstatement of the investigation underscores the seriousness with which the prosecution views the allegations. The directive ensures that all aspects related to the supply contract are subjected to rigorous scrutiny, thereby maintaining transparency in the handling of public funds.
