What the public record establishes
The linked records provide the institutional and numerical frame for this investigation. They support a documented reading, but do not automatically prove every causal claim or allegation. Debt, arrears, contractual commitments and approved budgets are not interchangeable. Reconstruct the figures from audited statements and specify exchange rates and periods. Avoid implying misappropriation or insolvency absent audit or judicial findings.
What remains unanswered
The public-interest test is what the responsible institutions publish next: the underlying decision, transaction-level data, implementation record and a response that can be checked against the evidence in this energy file.
Editorial method: This investigation rebuilds the original calculation from the linked public records, preserves the source period and transaction stage, and separates documented figures from estimates, interpretation and allegations.
