The GSD has asked the Government to explain why matters “were left to deteriorate so badly” at the Ministry for Sports, Culture, Heritage and Youth, that an audit inspection by the Principal Auditor led to “very serious concerns” being expressed. That inspection apparently revealed anomalies and inconsistencies in cash books, in payment vouchers and multiple discrepancies in leave files.
In connection with an ongoing investigation by detectives from the Money Laundering Investigation Unit, a 48-year-old Russian man and a 44-year-old Norwegian woman have both been arrested on suspicion of Money Laundering and of Carrying out a Controlled Activity without a Licence.
