Police find no evidence of criminality by Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman
by Guest Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:52 am
A police investigation into allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement by the mayor of a London council has found "no credible evidence of criminality".
Lutfur Rahman, elected mayor of Tower Hamlets, east London, was accused by the BBC's Panorama of more than doubling public funding to Bangladeshi and Somali groups from £1.5m to £3.6m in the face of recommendations from council officers.
He denied the allegations, saying they had been motivated by racism and Islamophobia.
The communities secretary, Eric Pickles, sent inspectors into the borough to investigate Rahman's activities, but Metropolitan police officers who reviewed the allegations found no evidence of fraud or other offences.
He will face no further action from police "at this stage", but the force said it was appropriate for outside auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to continue their financial review of the council.
