The organised crime squad Tarian, have said, in a statement issued today, that four people have been questioned as suspects in relation to the alleged bribery investigation over the proposed Wellness Village in Llanelli.
This is the police statement;
"Tarian, the Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) for southern Wales, is continuing to investigate alleged offences following a complaint by Swansea University in respect of the Llanelli Wellbeing and Life Sciences Village.
"Four people have been interviewed as suspects, all of whom remain under investigation. Further enquiries as part of this complex investigation are ongoing.
"Extensive examination of a significant number of documents and electronic equipment, which were seized earlier this year, also continues."
You will recall that eight addresses were raided by the police at the end of July.
Those addresses included the homes of former CEO Mark James and Meryl Gravell.
County Hall was also raided.
The other addresses were almost certainly those individuals sacked from Swansea University, and the former director of the Council's private 'partner' Sterling Health in Kent.
The investigation relates to alleged bribery and corruption over the tender process for the Wellness Village.
Mark James led and oversaw the tender process, which not only involved Sterling but it's previous incarnation as Kent Neurosciences.
The identities of the four suspects who have been questioned so far have not been released. However, as the statement says, the investigation is far from over.
