A REPORT on the 13-month investigation which triggered Wednesday's territory-wide raids on the Allied Group and associated companies will be published today.
Police, working to an open-ended budget, have seconded private accountants and crack Legal Department and Treasury staff for the Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) inquiry on 100 companies linked to Allied.
Senior police sources said it could take months, if not years, to unravel the web of companies operated by Malaysian businessman Lee Ming Tee.
The police action follows information gained during an investigation ordered by the Financial Secretary Hamish Macleod into transactions within the group and its partners since January 1, 1990.
Lawyers have spent the past two weeks combing through the findings which were presented to Mr Macleod on August 28 for later public distribution.
The investigation was carried out by Nicholas Allen of Coopers and Lybrand at a cost of $46 million to the taxpayer and will be made public for the first time today.
