A man's soothing radio voice is now heard: Good evening. This is the RTV Engelsh Service with the evening headlines.
// The Government has refused to comment on the mayhem and deaths in neighbouring Pannonia. While Overseas Relations and Cooperation Vrijpoort has issued a travel notice to the city of Kispest, the Senior Minister's Office stated over the weekend that 'the Government of Vrijpoort condemns violent forms of protest and is saddened to hear of the loss of life in our good neighbour and friends in Pannonia.'
// Boris Titov, CEO of the Standard Group, confirmed that he made a deal with Vistarikan billionaire Jupiter Weiss on a funding and ownership plan for the proposed Emerald Straits tunnel-bridge that would link Vrijpoort to Vistarika. The two billionaires were seen dining and lounging at The Grand Occidental Hotel in central Vrijpoort a few weeks ago. After weeks of meetings between the lawyers of the two conglomerates, the infrastructure project will essentially be equally co-funded. The many companies within the two groups' family of companies will practice their expertise in the planning, construction and operation of the behemoth project. Standard Group will operate the eToll service on concession from the Vrijpoort and Vistarikan governments with a 30-year concession. Messrs Titov and Weiss must now await government approval from Vrijpoort and Altaturra, which is expected to be a formality. Titov was asked when leaving his office earlier today how his working relationship is with Mr Weiss. He said that 'all I can say is that my new friend Jupiter now has a membership at the Vrijpoort Merchant Club and I look forward to welcoming him here to our beautiful and successful city more often!'

last month took a turn today when Metro Police announced that a witness has provided information leading to a trader at a hedge fund in central Vrijpoort. No arrests have been made at this point and the hedge fund has not been named. The chief investigator on the case, Detective Inspector Desmond Richelieu, made public today that financial forensics point to dozens of individuals who frequent swinger orgies that often have underage trafficked children present. While payments for access to the parties were naturally made in cash to avoid tracing, the cash withdrawals, travel records and other payment transactions place some of the alleged party goers within the circle of the prime suspect of the murder investigation. Metro Police is working together with the Financiële Garde, Financial Conduct Authority and the anti-financial cime unit of Divisie Éen, the domestic intelligence service. DI Richelieu said that 'this case is disturbing, complex and involves dozens of people who are complicit in the trafficking and sexual abuse of minors. They will see their day in court before the panel of judges, but first we will do everything in our power to extract key information from them that will help us reach the ring leader of this nefarious operation'. Although not yet heavily involved, the Crown Prosecution Service says that some of the party goers may be granted partial or full immunity if they cooperate with the investigation. Of the roughly two dozen people detained so far, half are Vrijpoort citizens, a quarter hold Vrijpoort citizenship and at least one other citizenship and the remaining quarter are resident aliens with an Employment Pass or were visiting as tourists on a Social Pass. The foreigners have been granted access to consular representatives and legal counsel.// The Financial Conduct Authority has lodged an official complaint with the Senate Financial Affairs and Oversight Committee over what it sees as illegal barriers preventing the FCA from investigating potential financial and securities fraud and crime in the Overseas Crown Colony of the Meridian Antilles. Notorious for the extreme banking secrecy, bare bones taxes and high number of shell companies, the FCA claims that the autonomous colony has denied the Authority access to crucial documents and personnel involved in compliance cases in Vrijpoort. In the complaint the FCA claims that:
'virtually all Vrijpoort domiciled companies, whether fully domestic or ultimately owned by entities and individuals outside the principality, have holding companies and other legal entities registered in the Meridian Antilles. We cannot exercise the law enforcement activities of our office without full access to Meridian Antilles company registration and filing documents. We expect the Meridian Antilles local colonial government to cooperate with the FCA, which they have refused to do. Despite years of meetings and negotiations no progress has been made. The FCA is charged with the financial oversight of all Vrijpoort financial transactions, which in our legal opinion includes the Overseas Crown Colonies of the Meridian Antilles, Batavië and the Dune Sea.'
Lodging the complaint with the Senate committee has been criticised as partisan and some have said that legal proceedings filed with the First Circuit Court of the Central District of Vrijpoort, which handles the world's largest number of financial and business legal cases, would be more appropriate.
