The SFO should give up its crusade as being an international policeman with a squad of legal vultures in tow, all trying to make a quick buck milking the reserves of rich British international companies.
investigations intentionally stretch out over many years so that the fines can be inflated. A totally unjustified gravy train!
As we see with Liverpool council, some practices there are unacceptable and certain matters have been taken out of their hands due to irregularities and failure to keep proper records.
This is where the SFO should be involved, inspecting councils up and down the country handing contracts out to relatives and family members with corresponding business interests.
They should also be vigilant looking out for brown envelopes in local planning permission contracts.
I also suggest that any fine involved here should be paid at £100 a month over ' x ' period of years if there is no other way out.
Forget the multi- bagger fines.
