DoJ engages inquiry upon the LEA's extensive lobbying actions.

August 5590

Fort William, Luthori - It has been announced by a statement from the Department of Justice that it was beginning an "extensive" inquiry upon the Luthorian Employers' Association, Luthori's large conglomerate cartel. The Department of Justice stated that the Imperial Government's decision to inquire the Luthori Employers' Association came after "high suspicions over the Employers' Association's extensive lobbying against the liberalisation of the Luthorian economy", which was a process which was engaged by former Prime Minister, Reinhold Carrington. The Department of Justice's suspicions are mostly covering up whether or not the Luthorian Employers' Association deliberately extended its lobbying process to avoid that further liberalisation laws be passed by the Luthorian Parliament, and to act against the Kalistani offer to buy stakes over the Imperial Oil Company's selling, which at the end, went mostly to Luthorian companies.

The Office of the Prime Minister hasn't offered any statement over this issue as of now. The Department of Justice has stated being "in close collaboration" with the Department of Home Affairs over this issue. The Imperial Investigation Office has already opened up the case against the LEA.

For now, the Luthorian Employers' Association has stated that they were "willing" to "cooperate" with the authorities, most analysts thinks that this move is "normal" coming up from the pressure group, as, after all, stating your willingness to cooperate with the authorities over an inquiry which targets you shows some form of confidence or even trustworthiness.

The Opposition criticised the lack of reforms preventing such pressure groups such as the Luthorian Employers' Association to yield so much influence over Luthorian politics. The Leader of the Opposition, has for her part, called for the complete dismantlement of the Luthorian Employers' Association, stating that "their anti-foreigner stance is incompatible with the Luthorian way of life and Luthorian capitalism".
