Deputy Justice Minister E.Erdenejamiyan heard the charges against him and the sentence on Monday in the First Primary Criminal District Court on March 31st. The First Primary Criminal District Court has suspended Deputy Justice Minister E.Erdenejamiyan`s civil service for two years and has imposed fines of 60 times the low-labor wage.

The Independent Authority Against Corruption of Mongolia initiated an investigation because of a letter sent by the Deputy Justice Minister to Interpol last year. The letter was believed to ask Interpol to stop the investigation of former president N.Enkhbayar`s sister N.Enkhtuya, and her assistant B.Khuyag. After the letter was sent Interpol announced that it had halted the investigation into the suspects.

The Deputy Justice Minister was convicted as his act interfered with the investigation and slowed the inquiry process.

On Tuesday the Secretary General of the Mongolian People`s Revolutionary Party (MPRP) G.Shiilegdamba did not agree with the Court decision about the Deputy Justice Minister and announced an appeal the Appeal Court during a press conference on April 1st.
