Before the end of the calendar year in which the Declaration of Integrity was submitted, any person has the right to report information that may indicate the inaccuracy (including incompleteness) of one or more statements made by the prosecutor in the Declaration of Integrity.

The reason for conducting a secret integrity check of a prosecutor may be information indicating the inaccuracy of one or more statements made by the prosecutor in the Declaration of Integrity.
