Shaw says more money missing from FID

Finance Minister Audley Shaw said he has received new information that more money has gone missing from the Financial Investigation Division (FID).



According to Mr Shaw he will be referring the investigation to the Commissioner of Police and the Director of Public Prosecutions.



Mr Shaw said he’s not pleased with the pace of the police probe into the disappearance of approximately $17 million in November 2007.



The money, which was being kept as evidence in several cases before the court, is said to have been stolen from a vault between August and October that same year.



However, Head of the Major Investigation Task Force (MIT) Assistant Commissioner, Les Green, said the police are already collaborating with the office of the DPP.



He said the investigation is progressing despite several challenges.
