Detectives are investigating allegations of corruption in collapsed Tube
firm Metronet, the Standard reveals today.

Police have been called in after a six-figure contract for complex
electrical work was given to a firm that specialises in unblocking drains.


Whats the point. The firm has been liquidated so it can't be fined and
the odds of prosecuting anyone individually in these sorts of cases
are minimal. Its just a waste of public money.
