The Integrity Commission has revealed that former Deputy Chairman of the Firearm Licensing Authority FLA Dennis Meadows, enabled the issuance of a firearm license to his relative, which amounts to nepotism, a conflict of interest and corruption.
In a lengthy report on its investigation into allegations of corruption involving the issuing of gun incenses, at the FLA, the director of investigation said that he has referred the matter to the director of corruption prosecutions.
A determination is to be made by the director of corruption prosecutions, in relation to whether the actions of Mr. Meadows, former director of the 2016 FLA board, in his approval of a firearm user license for his family member, amounted to an explicit act of nepotism which constitutes the common law offence of misconduct in public office, a breach of public trust and a breach of section 14 of the corruption prevention act.
