Transparency campaigners urge due process in Gibraltar corruption inquiry

Summary:

The document is a press statement from Transparency International UK warning against threats to the independence of the McGrail Inquiry examining allegations of corruption at the highest level of the Government of Gibraltar. The inquiry is set to begin in April 2024 and will investigate the early retirement of the former Chief Commissioner of the Royal Gibraltar Police. The UK authorities have published a new bill giving the Gibraltar Government powers to stop the inquiry, which Transparency International UK believes is intended to undermine the inquiry's independence and potential findings. The organization is urging the importance of due process and for the inquiry to continue without fear or favor.
