MOUNTING EVIDENCE LINKS PRESIDENT TO DEATH OF PATRICIA FYODEROV

ASSASSINATION SCANDAL
In a shocking turn of events, a federal judge has ruled that there was "compelling evidence" that President Fyoderov was involved in the killing of his ex wife.
R-SOD has confirmed that the order to kill Patricia Fyoderov came
from the President's office
All ten people who were facing charges in connection what has been confirmed as an "assassination" walked free today, following "compelling evidence" that they were working on orders from R-SOD.
Gojia Haraa - an R-SOD agent - claimed that he had been ordered to carry out the killing but to disguise it as an accident. He claimed not to know the reasons and that the orders were given to him by members of R-SOD's higher echelons.
R-SOD were initially hesitant to corroborate this story, stating that "for national security reasons we do not comment on specific missions" however after being ordered to release any relevant documents, R-SOD CEO Yulian Bentley confirmed that the order came from the President's office.
Bentley stated that he did not know whether or not President Fyoderov had obtained approval from the Covert Operations Committee, nor was he aware that the primary target was a Radiatian citizen.
"As far as we are concerned any order from the President's office conforms to the appropriate legislation and processes. We are public servants, not the Executive Branch of government."
When questioned on why no questions were asked, Bentley stated that "It is R-SOD policy that such an act would constitute political interference. We have to follow orders."
Bentley confirmed that there is truth to the rumour that each President gets "two free kills", in a tradition dating back to Traiyan Silviu.
"This policy exists not for political purposes, but for the sake of plausible deniability," He said. "It has usually been used to remove national security threats without a paper trail that might damage diplomatic relations."
Asked if this could be potentially used for corrupt purposes or political gain, Bentley laughed and said, "Oh yes. This has happened many times over."
Bentley stated that in light of recent events he was "considering" a review into R-SOD's standard practices and said that relevant changes to the structure of the organisation could possibly be expected "around the year LET 100".
Meanwhile, the Federal Assembly judicial committee has confirmed that it has drafted articles of impeachment for the President, which could potentially see him removed from office.
President Fyoderov's once stratospheric approval ratings have continued to slide, while on the international stage he has been described as a "political liability", with democratic world leaders now trying to distance themselves from him out of fear that he may besmirch their own reputations.
