Liverpool City Council may have squandered up to £100m of public money as corruption allegations grow.
Multiple sources said Liverpool city council was thought to have lost out on tens of millions of pounds “at a conservative estimate” through questionable transactions over several years. A
round £100m has been identified as “at risk” from the “serious breakdown of governance” uncovered by a government-commissioned inspection.
The report by Max Caller, a local government executive, found that the son of the former Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson was handed a major council contract in a breach of regulations that put the safety of construction workers at risk.
