Government is investigating reports that a UNC member in New York, popularly known as “the short pants man,” had been paid a $21 million “finder’s fee” by InnCOGEN’s former owners.

A Government source confirmed last night that the investigation now centres around whether part of that finder’s fee found its way back into a secret offshore UK account of a UNC minister.

In a statement to Parliament in June last year, former Attorney General Glenda Morean said four cheques, valued US$130,000 in total – US$50,000, US$50,000, US$20,000 and US$10,000 – had been deposited into the Guernsey account of a former minister.

The crook sold out for a pittance, too.
