“The Agency made several attempts to summon the appointed individual for a written response on the following dates: 04.11.2024, 25.11.2024, and an urgent notice on 19.12.2024, to which the appointed individual did not reply. The Agency also communicated the findings of the investigation to the public official on 03.02.2025, 20.01.2025, and 30.01.2025, with no response. To ascertain the facts and circumstances essential for making an appropriate and lawful decision, the Agency proceeded with the investigation and presented evidence,” states the Agency’s decision.
