Just to reiterate something the article mentions, though the title doesn't make it clear: Range (the prosecutor) was sacked not for the prosecution itself, but for accusing the minister of justice of interfering with the prosecution. Range had plenty of material to cover his ass for the prosecution itself, including an expertise that the leaked material was indeed state secret, the fact that the ministry knew about the investigation, and a solid initial suspicion.
