PoliticsOne of Estonia's most senior prosecutors, Eve Soostar, is facing criminal charges of document forgery in a case that has left many observers puzzled. The trial, unfolding in an Estonian courtroom, is being pieced together piece by piece as new details emerge at each hearing.
The case took a significant turn when a key witness was unable to recall the circumstances surrounding the alleged forgery. The witness's memory lapse has further complicated what is already described as a confusing set of facts, leaving the court with little clarity on what actually transpired.
