ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENCY: WHY EX-PRESIDENT IS ARRESTED
In the Press Institute, present were E.Amarbat, the head of the ACA investigation section, and D.Tsoodolsengee, a head of the ACA fact-finding section.
E.Amarbat said the reasons "have been profoundly grounded".
Summons were sent to N.Enkhbayar and his advocate ten times to have him given testimonies but he never came to do it and "did not even give a valid excuse,”, that is why it became inevitable to take a strong legal measure, he said.
All the materials, documents and curcumstances had been investigated since 2010 and then presented to the court and prosecutor. Eventually, the city Sukhbaatar district's court issued an order at around 5.00 pm on April 12 to arrest the suspect.
The ACA officials said a guard of N.Enkhbayar threatened the policemen by a gun while the arrest was to begin. Enkhbayar went to the house, ignoring the court resolution, and locked the doors inside. When finally the police entered the house and sounded the paper, neither Enkhbayar nor his advocate accept it, "and then the police had to use a lawful force," he said.
According to the materials, criminal proceedings have been initiated over N.Enkhbayar on illegal privatization of the Ulaanbaatar Times newspaper and the “Orgoo” hotel, based on complaints from J.Enkhjargal and L.Sergelen citizens. N.Enkhbayar also has been accused with illegally possessing TV channel facilities which were presented from Japan for Mongolia's Buddhists, with illegally instructing the Erdenet corporation on selling its products to one person who eventually "gained" many million dollars.
In October 19 of 2011, N.Enkhbayar was convicted as a serious criminal after the investigation by a joint commission.
E.Amarbat said N.Enkhbayar has been called as the suspected, and might be imprisoned for over two months as a defendant.
