– This is very demanding for Wara. Your partner is accused of very serious matters. He’s in an impossible fix, Ranke said and continued:
– I choose to emphasize the statements he made as Minister of Justice in interviews and will not comment further on his legal explanation. It affected him in his job as a minister, Ranke said.
