    According to Petri, the measure aims to “ensure transparency, ethics, and respect for the law” within the Armed Forces. The official statement specifies that Mengo allegedly committed a serious violation of regulations by using public assets of the institution for personal activities. Additionally, reports of harassment and/or abuse against him were disclosed, which the minister described as “extremely serious and unacceptable offenses”
