Former Singaporean Transport Minister S. Iswaran, on corruption charges, was granted an additional 16 days to remain in Australia due to illness. Al ex Ministro de Transporte de Singapur, S. Iswaran, acusado de corrupción, se le concedieron 16 días adicionales para permanecer en Australia debido a una enfermedad. His lawyers filed an application for the extension, which was approved by the State Courts. Sus abogados presentaron una solicitud de prórroga, que fue aprobada por los tribunales estatales. The prosecution did not object to the extension, as long as Iswaran met enhanced bail conditions. La fiscalía no se opuso a la prórroga, siempre y cuando Iswaran cumpliera condiciones mejoradas de libertad bajo fianza. Upon his return, his case will be transferred to the High Court due to strong public interest. A su regreso, su caso será transferido al Tribunal Superior debido al gran interés público.
