Regarding the Druking Special Prosecutor's Office, the foundation stated, "Despite various criticisms and pressures arising from investigating misconduct involving key figures of the ruling party, they discovered all related evidence, filed indictments against 12 individuals, and through forensic analysis presented over 1,550 digital pieces of evidence until the conclusion of the trial. They also interrogated 25 witnesses and conducted a full survey of all comments, ultimately securing guilty verdicts on all charged criminal facts after a three-year trial process."
