The
General Intelligence Authority (GIA) has defended its arrest of U.Altangadas,
director of administration at the Anti-Corruption Authority (ACA), on July 28. Sections
in the ACA had been quick to call this an illegal act. The GIA has clarified
that the arrest had been authorized by a prosecutor and they had followed legal
procedures in every detail. The ACA was notified of the decision 48 hours prior
to the actual arrest. 

It
is believed that .Algangadas was arrested because of his illegal investigation
of the former director of the ACA investigation department, E.Amarbat.
Altangadas is being held in Gants Khudag prison for the time being.
