Cinderella Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The impression given by their press release was that it will be an internal investigation so possibly a waste of time. Only independent external investigations cut it with corruption allegations. On another note, the MR report is the usual verbatim recitation of aPR release. Oh for some actual journalism … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysteron Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 If corruption is evident, I'd have thought that is a matter for the police to investigate. The proceeds of any alleged corruption would then surely constitute money laundering, also a matter for police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 2 hours ago, Banker said: Depends if there’s any actual evidence if wrongdoing, if it’s just some failure who’s facing criminal investigation who’s made unfounded allegations then I don’t see why major expenses should be incurred Allegations have been made, it doesn’t matter as to source of these allegations, either way it should be investigated and investigated properly, independently and with good faith and open minded, not swept under a carpet, as it could offend, embarrass or even implicate anyone, resulting in possible disciplinary action. Incidentally, a ‘failure’ facing criminal investigation or potential trial is entitled to be treated fairly, and if they have made allegations, their allegations should be treated with respect, and not treated with disdain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Deleted the original post as I couldn't get the link to work. But it was a tweet that states there is actually no offence of Misconduct in Public Office on the Isle of Man. Unrelated to this case, I suspect it's how so many alleged outrageous machiavellian behaviours have been able to fly in the public sector.

I too don't think that offence exists yet on the island...but depending on the type of any wrongdoing, a lot of other offences in law would surely still apply? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just say it's a matter for DBC to investigate. They won't want to get their hands dirty. Local Authorities are useful for MHKs to offload politically inconvenient stuff to. Phil Gawne loved offloading DOI stuff to them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 While I would not like to comment on these latest allegations, the idea that certain people are fortunate enough to get the nod when an investment opportunity presents itself is certainly nothing new. People involved in renovations already know it goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
