The Genesis
(Delivering an interview)
We received an article from an independent freelancer asking us to publish an interview with the officer in charge of the case.
The Chancellery and the editorial staff of the *Gazette de Carlisne* have decided not to publish it in full for the following reasons:
- - Failure to respect the anonymity intended to protect Lieutenant XXX, whose identity had been deliberately concealed in the original article.
- - The identity of the police officer in charge of the case was also mentioned. The impartiality of an investigation relies on the freedom of inquiry and the discretion of the investigators and subsequently the public prosecutor regarding indictments. within the framework of anti-corruption and anti-organized crime/anti-mafia laws.
- - Disrespectful remarks directed at the Crown, in violation of the Constitution of Carlisne. If the author lives in a democracy and doesn't care for the monarchy, good for them. opinions are like assholes: everyone has one. However, both remain private matters. Discriminatory remarks or those tending to incite acts of violence or rebellion are prohibited. True journalism is based on facts, not personal opinions.
- - Questions arise regarding the identity of the journalist, which is not disclosed; this could also mask another attempt at destabilization. Our articles feature identified authors who stake their reputations on their work and uphold values aimed at promoting information—and information alone. The citizens of Carlisne are capable of forming their own opinions based on a factual account of events, without journalistic influence.
We are therefore publishing the article in accordance with our code of ethics.
Prime Minister's remarks at the press briefing regarding the diplomatic crisis at Algor Mountain.
SergeantYYYY in charge of the case
The article from the Carlinse Gazette
Key takeaways:
"Lieutenant Xxxx has regained consciousness, but her condition remains concerning; the Algor police are pursuing several leads, and for the moment, we have no suspects to name."
The first alleged victim—Algor police Lieutenant Mountain—has woken up but remains significantly weakened.
No hospital discharge date has been set yet.
The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests or arrest warrants have been issued.
"When I found Lieutenant Xxxx, she had been brutally beaten by her attackers. She was rushed to the hospital unconscious and remained in that state until today."
The officer in charge of the investigation is a lieutenant and the hospitalized officer's partner.
He maintains that the inquiry is proceeding and that he will do everything possible to find the perpetrators, while withholding any information that could compromise the investigation.
But one cannot help but wonder: why was she being searched for after an absence of only 24 to 48 hours?
And it is worth noting that in two-thirds of crimes, the perpetrators are people close to the victims.
"And you can quote me on this: the guy who did this to Lieutenant XXXXX will face the full force of the law. Once I track down the culprit, those... uh... those scumbags won't have anywhere to hide."
This raises the question of whether it is appropriate for the detective in charge to be the victim's professional partner—and someone with whom she also had an intimate relationship.
Shouldn't this investigation be handed over to a federal unit like the FBI, or to personnel with less of a personal connection to the victim?
If this had happened in the Principality, that certainly would have been the case. But that’s not where we are...
Certain remarks made during the interview prompt us to highlight these questionable choices.
Another troubling aspect regarding the investigator's statement...
"I advise you not to publish false information; lawyers don't like that. Make your questions quick; I have to touch base with the mayor shortly."
How could an isolated case involving a single individual require the mayor's attention? What is this statement hiding?
Without wanting to be lumped in with conspiracy theorists, you have to admit that this might arouse curiosity.
In any case, this decision rests with the American justice system—though it must remain vigilant regarding its impartiality, as the Principality to Carlisne would not hesitate to appeal to the highest international bodies if the investigation's conclusions appeared biased and lacked a factual basis.
His Excellency the Duke, who is also distressed by the situation, will offer no comment, as he does not wish to risk influencing or steering the investigations in the foreign country where he was on an official visit.
He will simply state that he eagerly awaits the truth coming to light and the clearing of his name.
Furthermore, should law enforcement from Algor Mountain or US federal agencies make a request, the Principality stands ready to provide all necessary assistance with full transparency, provided there is reciprocity.
