The handling of this case will subsequently be transferred to the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes at the Attorney General’s Office, following an agreement between the National Police’s Kortastipidkor and the Attorney General’s Office for synergy. “We have agreed with the Attorney General’s Office that the handling of investigations into three cases has been transferred to the Attorney General’s Office in the spirit of synergy,” he said.
