His comments come shortly after a CPIB officers was charged in court earlier in the day for misappropriating the bureau's funds.
He said a study of public officers investigated for corruption and other financial crimes by the police Commercial Affairs Department and CPIB over the last five years, concluded that cases involving such officers have "remained low and quite stable over the last five years".

So many accounting lapses in public sector year after year but no CPIB investigations? BTW, why no news on Brompton bike case?

I mean if 4 cases involves like $50,000 each, versus this $1.7mn, shouldn't we be more worried?
