Preliminary criminal court of Chingeltei district decided to extend jailing of former Finance Minister Bayartsogt, former CEO of State
owned Mining company “Erdenes Mongol” Byambasaikhan for another month starting
from May 15, 2018.
According to Otgon,
attorney of Bayartsogt, during hearing
on Tuesday held by request of Ulaanbaatar city prosecutor’s office, prosecutor’s
office persisted for imprisonment of Bayartsogt because “ he may commit another
crime and his case is very complicated” .
These former gov’t officials in addition to 2 former PMs of
Mongolia have been charged by Independent agency against Corruption for “ abuse of official position and making
clearly illegal decision that creates preferential circumstance for others” in relation to Oyu Tolgoi investment
agreement and questioned by staff of the Anti-corruption body.
