DTI 'no comment' on Anglia and Saatchi
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Department of Trade and Industry is reported to be winding down its investigations into allegations of insider dealing in shares in Anglia Television and Saatchi and Saatchi, now renamed Cordiant. There have been no prosecutions resulting from either investigation as yet. Neither case has been officially acknowledged, although the Independent has been made aware of interviews that have been requested in connection with the Anglia TV inquiry, which was re-opened earlier this year.
The DTI declined to comment yesterday, saying that "it was not the department's practice either to confirm or deny that an investigation is being conducted or has been conducted into a particular company or individual".
