SFO Investigation “Ridiculous” – Peters
New Zealand First Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters has described the Serious Fraud Office announcement of an investigation as “ridiculous in the extreme”.
Mr Peters said that nobody from the Serious Fraud Office had spoken to him about any of the matters they allegedly had been making inquiries about.
“If they had the courtesy to talk to me, this matter would have been cleared up in a few minutes. They did not even have the courtesy to tell me about their decision – I heard it on the radio.
“This investigation can be laid at my past criticism of the SFO for failing to follow up on major taxation cases involving hundreds millions of dollars over ten years ago and more recent events at the law and order select committee.
“We will meet this investigation head on,” said Mr Peters.
