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.”
This morning, a brunch was hosted at the Mayor's Parlour for the Friends of Gibraltar Society, as well as the Heritage Trust. The Friends of Gibraltar is a registered charity made up of many individuals who hold links with Gibraltar, be it through business, marriage, or having spent a stint living on the Rock.
His Worship the Mayor presented recently appointed Mayor of the Test Valley Borough Council, Mrs. Janet Whiteley with a Gibraltar Crystal Paper weight. On behalf of the Society, Mayor Whitely handed Mayor Tony Lima one of their ties.
The Gibraltar Charities Forum will hold its first meeting on Thursday 27th June in the Charles Hunt Room in the John Mackintosh Hall at 6pm.
The aim of this Forum is to offer local registered charities a place to share, discuss and meet. There is an active closed Facebook page of the same name to enable prompt contact between charities.
The Forum has been set up by the founder of the Gibraltar Multiple Sclerosis Support Society to provide a place where charities can communicate and discuss any issues they wish to.
The GSD has issued a statement on the recent Government explanations in the press and in Parliament in relation to the No. 6 registered companies, saying that they “give rise to more questions than they provide answers.”
The statement continues:
As matters stand, absolutely nothing can be gleaned from the Government’s statements, which addresses the Opposition’s suspicion that the Government has been caught out.
