Man held in preventive custody for abuse of influence: demanded €5,000 to intervene with a prosecutor
A man was detained and subsequently placed in preventive custody by judicial authorities, accused of demanding and receiving €5,000 from a person. The money was allegedly requested in exchange for a promise that he would persuade a prosecutor to intervene with a judge in a criminal case.
The case concerned the spouse of the person from whom the money was demanded. The individual created the appearance that he had the capacity to influence the course of judicial proceedings, making use of the apparent position he claimed to hold in front of the injured party.
The judicial authorities intervened and ordered the preventive custody of the suspect, a measure considered necessary for the proper conduct of the investigation and to eliminate the risk of absconding or committing further offences.
