Interim Party Leader Annie Bjorksdattir addresses SP Internal Investigation results

Interim Party Leader Annie Bjorksdattir, SP Deputy from Luxon, released the findings of the SP's internal investigation into the corruption allegations. They confirm the findings of the Defense Ministry, and implicate a number of high ranking Regular Military Officers.

"The Party has agreed to cooperate with the Government in bringing these thieves to justice," said Bjorksdattir. "We are not at liberty to name names during the ongoing investigation, but once the charges become public, of course, the defendants will be named. Our investigation, however, reveals that the culprits are almost entirely associated with the Socialist Regular Officers' Association. There is evidence to suggest that this organization was a slush fund for the implicated members. Officers allegedly moved the money to offshore accounts where they owned homes, boats, cars and etc across the globe. The sum stolen by this group exceeds 300 billion Rubles last year alone."

Along with the revelations Bjorksdattir announced the resignation of the entire Socialist Party Leadership in the Deputy, to include former Premier Diego Perry. "We do not have evidence that Comrade Perry was involved in the corruption. But he has acknowledged that the Party Leadership and the former Government had failed to prevent the corruption and has taken responsibility. We have accepted the Comrades' resignations, and the Party has installed an interim leadership team to take us through the upcoming elections."

The Party has agreed to cooperate in all ongoign investigations, and will focus on preparing for the elections.
