Police start fraud probe at council-owned firm

Kent police are investigating possible fraud at a company created by Medway Council.

Officers have been called in to carry out a forensic investigation into the accounts of Medway Commercial Group (MCG).

The company was set up to provide recruitment plus CCTV services and remote monitoring to schools and care providers for older people.

Until recently, the FRC had little involvement in local government affairs. But with investigations into council officers becoming more frequent, where is the political accountability?
