The money had been obtained as commission by a powerful minister in the previous regime and several other persons, who had given the contracts for importing the clothing materials from China.

When tenders were called, the persons who had submitted the highest bids had received the contracts.

The person who had supplied clothing material to the port had continued with the contract for five years, although he had failed to supply on time.

Police had received theirs for 2014 only at the end of 2015.

Investigators have sought details from the relevant institutions as well as a report from state audit authorities, ‘Dinamina’ reports.
