On May 22, 2026, the court approved a proposal from the Prosecutor's Office to escalate the preventive measures against the accused, T.Davaadalai, Former First Deputy Governor of the Capital. transitioning his status from a national travel ban to immediate custodial detention.
The court's decision followed a comprehensive review of the collected case files, the prosecutor's formal arguments presented during the hearing, explanations provided by the defense counsel, and the defendant's personal circumstances. Ultimately, the presiding judge determined that detaining T.Davaadalai was necessary to protect the integrity of the ongoing criminal investigation.
According to the ruling, the detention is legally grounded in Article 14.9, Section 1.3 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This specific provision authorizes detention when there is a credible risk that a suspect might "destroy, alter, conceal, or forge physical evidence, traces of the crime, or other case materials."
Consequently, the previous preventive measure, which merely restricted T.Davaadalai from leaving Mongolia, has been officially revoked and replaced. He has now been remanded into custody for a period of one month, effective from the date of the May 22 court hearing.
