The man, in his 20s, was present to give his statement on May 9, and we are waiting for further instructions from the DPP,“ he said when contacted today.
Police had previously said the case would be investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998 because it involved the improper use of network facilities or network service.
