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 maintains that the Opposition have again got their facts wrong over the case of the vulnerable person that they highlighted last week.
No 6 insists that the Opposition continues to raise the risk of accidentally identifying this vulnerable person to the public. A statement goes on to say that this is typical of the GSD’s behaviour, as they frequently ask for personal information in Parliament ‘showing that they care less about vulnerable people than they do about trying to score political points’.
This weekend saw officers of HM Customs make several drug and tobacco smuggling related arrests. The first saw 30-year-old local, John Clancy arrested for the possession of 20 grams of herbal cannabis that was found in his bag. Clancy pleaded guilty in court this morning. A pre-sentencing report has been authorised.
The Government has said that the Opposition do themselves no favours by highlighting the position of arrears of housing rent. A spokesperson said: “They have the cheek to complain that these stand at £4.9 million when no less than £4 million of that sum was actually inherited from them during their time in office!”
