“We Ask for Patience”: The Independent Authority Responds to Delay in the High-Profile Investigation into the “Mafia State”

The Independent Authority against Corruption acknowledges a delay in completing the final report on the investigation related to the book “Mafia State.” The delay is mainly due to health issues of members of the inspection team, as well as the appointment of one of the inspectors to the Public Service, which has been postponed until April 2026. The Authority states that the delay will lead to a later publication of the results but assures that it will work independently of electoral schedules. Drafts for three of the five chapters of the report have been received so far, while asking for patience and objective judgment from the public.
