EU Continues To Smother Fraud Report
Officials at the EU Parliament claim that they haven't called in fraud inspectors to investigate the secret report they've locked up and assigned security guards to because, they say, they don't think it shows fraud.
Those few Euro-MPs who have read the report and are willing to talk about it are spitting with disbelief: Here's Chris Davies (UK, Liberal Democrat):
“I think if names were attached to some of the cases of malpractice highlighted, then prison should follow,” he said. “Maybe when some MEPs are named, exposed for defrauding the Parliament and the public and are sent to prison a more acceptable approach will be adopted.”
The EU's fraud investigation department OAF OLAUGH OLAF is expected to request to view the report today, but is in no hurry to start shaking dodgy Euro-MPs out of their tree. It is reported that the investigator could take months looking into the report.
As The Times notes, OLAF is as likely to bury any reports of fraud as expose it.
