ST. JOHN'S, N.L. (CP) - The police in Newfoundland were searching Saturday for a former bureaucrat at the centre of the province's legislative spending scandal, after he was reported missing.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary were looking for Bill Murray, the former director of financial operations at the province's legislature, who was last seen on Friday.
Murray, 53, was suspended from his job last year amid allegations from Newfoundland's auditor general that he played a key role in approving questionable expenditures.
Auditor general John Noseworthy has alleged Murray signed off on $2.7 million worth of various trinkets and keepsakes, including customized gold rings, fridge magnets and key chains.
Murray also faces a breach of trust lawsuit launched by the Newfoundland and Labrador government.
