In line with its directives, standard operating procedures and as a matter of policy, the State Security Agency (SSA) does not comment on operational matters as it is held accountable on such matters by the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence (JSCI).
However, regarding the matter in question, the SSA is not privy to such an investigation.
