By Liora Santoro
Skyreach City, Aerwyn Province — May 11, 2127 — Former President Lucien Thorne remains under formal judicial custody at Skyreach City Jail as the Supreme Tribunal continues expanded investigations into late Federation-era financial restructuring and sovereign accounting practices.
Authorities confirmed that the case has officially transitioned into a “system-wide fiscal accountability review,” focusing on long-term treasury operations, debt structuring systems, and inter-agency financial compliance during the final transition period preceding the establishment of the People’s Republic of New Valdoria.
Chief Justice Seraphin Volkov stated that the review now includes “institutional-level coordination audits rather than individual liability alone,” signaling a shift toward broader administrative evaluation.
Justice Minister Antonella Riva emphasized that detention status remains lawful and procedural, noting that additional documentation from the State Planning Commission and Financial Security Directorate continues to be submitted for verification.
No release timeline has been announced.
