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.”
A Spanish National has been arrested and charged over the incident on the 19th September where RGP Officers were attacked by a number of men throwing rocks at them during an anti tobacco smuggling operation at the Frontier.
The Government says it takes note of the result of the Referendum in Scotland as a “true reflection of the will of the Scottish people” and describes it as a “tribute to the democratic traditions” of the United Kingdom that the people of Scotland were able to exercise their right to self- determination and freely to choose their future political status.
Two incidents this week saw the RGP seize a total of 70,000 cigarettes. The first case saw the Marine section intercept two 3 metre RHIBS smuggling tobacco at the East Side reclamation. As the RGP interceptor moved in, persons scattered the scene and six boxes of tobacco were seized on board one of the RHIBs.
