[00:00:00]It appears that these raids, these arrests, are not strategically they well planned and well executed. So, they would normally take the suspects on a Friday or Saturday or even a Sunday morning, hold them in custody for a night or two or three. Then when they appear, they'll ask for a 7-day postponement. They will then oppose bail, and it gives the these suspects a bit of time to feel how life is behind bars. And the the other day when we counted, we have at least 25 or 26 senior police officials in the dock. And I'm talking of the last 3 months.

[00:00:46]>> And they're still pending investigations which can take time.

[00:00:49]>> in court and though on another charge.
