CASE STUDY
While the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) of Wonderland pursues its investigations in a few cases of corruption, a trade unionist made allegations of money -laundering and irregular transactions against the Director of the institution. The press reported that the trade unionist accused the Director of the ACA of some transactions at an exaggerated cost, without calling for tenders. There were also accusations against one of the Deputy Directors of the ACA. The Deputy Director allegedly failed to declare interest in a specific case, where he intervened as the Solicitor of Casual Ltd., a company that had benefited from the funds embezzled from a well-known bank, to stop two suspects from being arrested.
Of the internal problems facing the ACA is the case of allegedly unjustified dismissal of a former fraud investigator. Formerly employed as director of investigations at the ACA, this fraud investigator was dismissed in June 2004.
The director of the ACA was accused of conspiracy as there were allegations that he exercised pressure on a police officer to unjustly incriminate the former director of investigations, with a view to terminating his employment.
There were also allegations that the Director of the ACA gave instructions not to give a hearing to the former director of investigations. As the written press reported that this act constituted a clear case of power abuse, this was followed by speculations on potential courses of action likely to be adopted by the disciplinary committee.
