The investigation report by the Anti-Corruption Unit (ULCC) on the National Credit Bank (BNC) scandal, containing "compromising elements," will be ready "shortly," Le Nouvelliste learned from a generally well-informed source on Saturday, September 28, 2024. The source declined to confirm or deny whether "the individuals involved will be referred to the courts." "But I do know there are compromising elements," the source revealed, adding that the investigation focused "on the reported facts and some related offenses." "If a criminal investigation has identified compromising elements, it is very likely that a more in-depth judicial investigation will be recommended, which only an examining judge has the legal means to carry out," the source continued.

"The ULCC's investigations are all criminal in nature. With a few rare exceptions, the institution can conduct a compliance investigation, which can also lead to criminal offenses," the source explained.
