Carte Blanche Under Fire

The Sunday, 17 May episode of Carte Blanche investigates allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement within the office of the sheriffs, who are responsible for enforcing court orders.

Whistleblowers have reportedly raised concerns about alleged intimidation, abuse of funds, and claims that lucrative sheriff positions are being sold to the highest bidders, sidelining long-serving public servants.

There are also questions about whether a fund intended to protect the public is being misused.

Despite these allegations, the Minister of Justice reportedly maintains that there is nothing wrong within the system, prompting further scrutiny from Carte Blanche.
