- kpil 9y agoNo one is fired yet. Failed agency directors are traditionally sent to 'the elephant graveyard' ie doing some nonsense work in a government department. A fine has been handed out - the case was handled in a court without any fanfare and it must have been the smallest possible amount for a crime against the security of the state - half a month's salary. This can not be overruled. Due to the verdict, the employment status is now under consideration in a special governmental body - basically the HR department. If this seems like a banana republic without bananas but with a monarch, it's because it is.
