This afternoon, President Dieter Crois was brought into custody by the CPD's Special Support Section. His charges include accessory to terrorism, illegal arrest of diet members, leading a coup, and misuse of government property, amongst other crimes. We expect that the president will be transferred to the First Division's custody before long.
The Resulting Situation:
The breadth of President Crois' crimes has finally been brought to light. Despite his conspiracy, the president remains in his position and no formal arrest warrant has been issued for him. Our reporter on the ground was able to witness the events unfold, and it is thanks to their efforts that we are able to bring readers this report.
On the behalf of this publication, I'd like to apologize for the tardiness of this news.

◆The Startling Circumstances◆
The following report concerns a matter of state law. The process by which Crossbell attempted to declare independence was illegal, and thus the crimes that took place in that process must be brought to light.
According to the investigation conducted by the Special Support Section, President Crois employed the Red Constellation jaeger corps and ordered them to attack Crossbell and commit destructive acts. By doing so, the president was able to create a dire situation used to sway the public's opinion. From referendum to declaration of independence, the entire movement was predicated on deceit.
The president himself has admitted to the nature of the aforementioned acts of conspiracy. There can be no doubt that the events taking place in Crossbell over the past several months were all by his design.
