Scandal strikes UFL - Chairman arrested
[March 5740]
Courrier Tirallien
Rildanorian politics are confronted with a big scandal today. The company of the Chairman of the new party UFL which sought to bring new wind into Rildanorian politics, Nicoleau Holding, has been found to be implicated in large scale money laundering and smuggling of illegal goods through Dalibor into Rildanor, as the national police uncovered. Jean-Michel Nicoleau was arrested at his villa in Tiralle this morning with police escorting him to pre-trial detention.
According to our sources, party secretary and presidential candidate Matthieu Yang and his company which worked in close cooperation with Nicoleau Holding are implicated as well. Mr. Yang is however nowhere to be found with speculation about his whereabouts mostly circling towards him having fled to his country of birth, Dalibor, where he doesn't have to fear extradition.
The UFL's vice-presidential candidate Jeanne de Saint-Pierre stood before the press this afternoon to communicate the party's next steps. She announced that the party would step down from all the elections it was running in and stop campaigning immediately. It encouraged its members to run as independents in local races. "It is esential for the party to look inwards and figure out how to continue after this event that shook us to our core."
