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.”
Following the recent and extensive coverage of Sunday’s incursion incident involving Guardia Civil Vessel ‘Rio Cedena’ and a local jet ski pilot, His Excellency the Governor has insisted that it ‘was clearly an unlawful incursion and a very serious incident which has been corroborated by video footage now in the public domain. The discharge of a firearm presents serious risks to the safety of us all. Such reckless action could have had dire consequences and led to an escalation that we all want to avoid.’
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, has told the David Cameron that the incident in which Spanish Civil Guards shot at a jet-ski inside British Gibraltar Territorial Waters was dangerous and wholly unacceptable. He added that this and other incursions constitute a serious challenge to Gibraltar's jurisdiction and British sovereignty.
The Chief Minister sent a long letter on the subject to Downing Street yesterday in order to put across the strength of feeling in Gibraltar on this issue.
