On Friday, Ms. Zolatava was notified of the Investigative Committee’s decision by Alyaksandr Syamenik, head of the investigation team.
Ms . Zolatava remains the only person charged in the case.
The BelTA case was opened after the news agency had complained about the use of its paid information products by unauthorized people.
Officers of the Investigative Committee conducted searches at the offices of BelaPAN, tut.by and some other media organizations this past August. Several journalists spent one or two days in custody.
Fourteen journalists were eventually charged with getting unauthorized access to computer information. Ms. Zolatava was charged with inaction by an official.
