This press message was released by the Government of the Mordusian Democratic Republic.
Lord-Secretary Robert Cecil, 6th Duke of Sammodra, announced today a corruption investigation that primarily entails high-ranking officials of the Elitist Super Squad. The investigation's main targets are former Lord-Secretary Mencken, former Lord-Treasurer Cameron, and former Defense Secretary Lysander Strange. The investigation in its entirety will be handled by Minister of Justice Sir James C. McReynolds. The laws of legal immunity make it difficult for the Ministry of Justice to investigate current Lord-Elect Mervyk the Vogon, also of the ESS, but, in his speech, the Lord-Secretary hinted that the Lord-Elect is largely implicated in the corruption charges. The charges have not yet been publicly released, it is, however, likely that they concern the enormous defense spending increases orchestrated by the ESS Cabinet and the final destination of these spending hikes.Signed,
