A political leader dies under disputed circumstances. Within hours, the interior minister declares the death accidental on national television — before forensic analysis is complete. The leader's widow later testifies that the president told her directly to 'stay away from the investigation.' Bodyguards admit tampering with the scene. The chief forensic pathologist is later arrested for failing to document injuries visible in leaked autopsy photos. An independent experiment contradicts the official cause of death. The leader's body is exhumed a decade later and tissue samples are sent to foreign laboratories, but results are never published. Analyze this pattern of institutional behavior. In established literature on state-involved deaths, what specific term describes the investigative structure where a conclusion is established first and evidence is subsequently selected, suppressed, or fabricated to support it — and name one documented historical case where this same pattern was formally identified by an international court or tribunal.
