The Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) investigation into the allegation that ‘whistle-blowers’ were incentivised to provide evidence to the McGrail Inquiry “has not uncovered any evidence that meets the threshold for criminal prosecution for Misconduct in Public Office.”
The Government has this evening said that it is pleased to confirm that it is informed by the MOD that the issues affecting communications at the Air Traffic Control Tower are now resolved. Flights will operate normally from Gibraltar Airport tomorrow. Further details on the issues that arose and more permanent solutions to ensure no repetition of these communications issues is expected from the MOD. In the interim, the Government will further withhold payment on the Commercial Use agreement in respect of the downtime suffered these past forty eight hours.
The GSD has said that the recent disruption at Gibraltar airport “gives rise to further cause for concern, especially following a spate of incidents which call into question its resilience.”
Christmas is a time to be thankful. We are especially grateful at this time of year that we can be with our families and our friends, enjoying each other’s company.
