Sources confirm that the International Criminal Court has suspended its top prosecutor amid allegations of serious misconduct. The decision comes as Britain calls for an impartial investigation into the matter, casting a shadow over the court's credibility.
The suspension was announced late Tuesday following an emergency session of the ICC's governing body. While details remain sealed, leaked documents suggest the probe centres on financial irregularities and abuse of office. One insider described the situation as "a cancer within the institution."
Britain's Foreign Office issued a statement demanding transparency. "The UK expects nothing less than a thorough, independent investigation," a spokesman said. "The ICC must uphold the highest standards of integrity."
This is a developing story. The embargoed report contains further details on the allegations and the identities of those involved. The full article will be published at 0600 GMT.
