Singapore judge allows probe against prosecutors in maid case


SINGAPORE, Oct 23 (Reuters): Singapore's chief justice said on Friday he would allow an investigation into a complaint of alleged misconduct against two public prosecutors brought by a former maid who was acquitted of stealing from her prominent ex-employer.

The rare move to probe the conduct of public prosecutors in the city-state comes after Singapore's high court last month overturned a 2016 conviction against Parti Liyani, an Indonesian maid charged with stealing from the household of Liew Mun Leong, the former chairman of Singapore's Changi Airport.
