This first one will detail Shokin, the Prosecutor General behind this scandal.
Please RT!

Preferential treatment of a case dealing with a couple people Shokin was friends/friendly with.
Prosecutors claims Shokin was trying to get rid of them under the guise of reorganization instead of investigate crooks. https://www.unian.info/m/society/1299458-sakvarelidze-says-prosecutor-general-has-business-ties-with-diamond-prosecutors.html
