A senior officer with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) is being investigated for financial impropriety.
The New Paper understands that the officer, who holds the position of “assistant director”, is suspected of embezzling a substantial sum of money from the organisation.
After finding out about this, the CPIB immediately alerted the Commercial Affairs Department to investigate.
TNP understands that the CPIB officer in question has been interdicted -- civil service parlance for being suspended from duty with the possibility of having pay docked or withheld.
