In early December 2024, the SAPO and the NABU exposed a judge and former chairman of the Economic Court of one of the regions on extortion of USD 1 million in undue advantage from a representative of a private company. In return for the money, the individuals promised to ensure that the necessary decisions were made in court cases that were being considered by one of the appellate economic courts.
