Money still being recovered
Published on: 11/7/2009.
AFTER A YEAR, $1.097 million from the $1.5 million that went "missing" from the Central Bank of Barbados has been found.
Novaline Brewster, public affairs officer at the bank, revealed this week that 10 970 of the missing $100 notes ($1.097 million) have been recovered.
The bank originally reported that $1.4 million, comprising brand new $100 notes, had disappeared from the top financial institution, but subsequently found another $100 000 missing, to make up a total of $1.5 million. The initial sum was found missing on October 30, 2008.
After an internal investigation, three staff members have been disciplined. A former employee has also appeared in court on charges related to the matter. (SP)

When all the money is recovered will a public disclosure/apology/announcement be made revealing the whereabouts of the money,if recovered, where and by whom? and will the parties currently blamed/held responsible for such crime be exonerated? Let's not forget these individuals.

Was there ever any money really missing or was this just to make individuals at the bottom look bad as a cover up for another plan by higher ups that went bad? As the story(world) turns.
