Judiciary Council

Ljubljana – President Borut Pahor attended a session of the Judicial Council on Thursday, focussing on the passing of the 2022 budget bill, which cuts funding to some independent state institutions. Pahor said the way in which budget funding had been reduced could be seen as efforts to weaken these institutions.

The Judiciary Council said on Oct. 20 that a complaint against al-Nujaifi was submitted by three lawmakers from Ninevah province in late 2015, shortly after the Turkish troops were deployed to a base in Bashiqa. It said the investigation concluded on Oct. 18, when two eyewitnesses from inside the camp testified at court.
