So far we've dealt with the political angle of the Penner story - and the other side of that is the investigation. The DPP has said that she feels there is enough to warrant a police investigation. The Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit - which would watch for suspicious movements of money feels the same way. In fact, Director Marilyn Williams told us today that she has already started her investigation:..
Marilyn Williams, Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit
"The FIU based on the laws under which they are mandated will in fact actually have already started the process of an investigation. Unfortunately I am not in a position to give any details whatsoever. The type of investigation that we do must be done - I wouldn't say in private but certainly not open for public discussion."
Marisol Amaya, KREM Radio
"You can't say what say exactly the investigation was launched?"
Marilyn Williams, Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit
"It was launched a week ago."
And while Williams is underway - we can't say the same for the police. You see, Commissioner Allen Whylie was on leave last week - and this morning when we caught up with him at a conference, he said he hadn't even been back to his office yet to get up to speed on happening sin his department. Here's how Whyle brushed us off:..
Allen Whylie, Commissioner of Police
"As I said I was out of office, so I can't comment. I need to get in office to see what has been said, what has been submitted to me before I could say something."
Geovanni Brackett, reporter
"Have you heard anything on the news?"
Allen Whylie, Commissioner of Police
"No."
Whylie told us that where he lives he can't see the news, and hardly even gets a radio signal.
