 A commission of inquiry into allegations of corruption in
the Turks and Caicos Islands has recommended a
criminal investigation into the former premier, Michael Misick, and four of his
former ministers. They are alleged to have sold off Crown land to property developers for personal gain. The full report of the commission has not been released because of legal proceedings brought against the head of the commission, Sir Robin Auld and governor Gordon Wetherell, in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The foreign office minister Chris Bryant said Thursday that the inquiry found widespread corruption involving past and present elected MPs. |
