9. I wonder why Engoron approved of it initially

He knows better. He knows that it would just be a listing of grievances.

I suppose "to be fair" he had to approve it, but then when it was clear that Mango Mussolini can't stick to the relevance of the case, he could rescind approval. So that won't be appealed. Relevant fact here:

after his lawyers objected to the judge's insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.
