Inappropriate behaviour

Another day, another black eye for the RCMP.

A day after allegations of innappropriate relationship between an investigator and a potential witness in the Surrey Six murder case came to light we are learning another officer on the file is facing criminal charges.

One officer has been charged with fraud and attempted fraud for overtime claims submitted last summer.With two cases coming to light in one week, the RCMP are reeling.Yesterday, it was revealed an investigator with the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been put on desk duty pending a review of allegations of unprofessional behavior with a witness connected to the Surrey 6 case, the ex-girlfriend of convicted killer Dennis Karbovanec.

For their part, Crown Counsel says they are aware of the investigation launched by the Mounties, "However, at this point, no evidence provided by the witness in question has been forwarded to Crown Counsel. And it hasn't played any part in any charge assessment or any other Crown decisions in any ongoing case."
