7 individuals including politicians face asset freeze from Bribery Commission

The Bribery Commission is due to file indictments against two former ministers of the previous government for failing to explain how they acquired certain assets, it was reported.

According to Sunday Timesthe Bribery Commission is also investigating a former minister’s driver who had allegedly bought a luxury house and land in Cinnamon Gardens.

Meanwhile, legal action is also to be initiated to freeze properties belonging to seven persons, including politicians, public officials, and military officers, over the suspicious acquisition of a large number of assets.

The Bribery Commission has taken measures to initiate legal action after probes found that the individuals were not capable of acquiring the properties with their normal salaries.

Probes conducted so far have found that claims made on receiving the properties through family and relatives were false, while some politicians are reluctant to assist the investigations by providing statements. (newswire)
