Summary
Eight years after stepping down amid public funding concerns, Andrew Wheatley returns to ministerial office — only to face far more serious allegations. The Integrity Commission has concluded he amassed $164 million in assets over nine years, far beyond his known income, with no satisfactory explanation. Past scrutiny over the Petrojam refinery scandal didn’t lead to charges, but now, new findings reveal tax fraud and false declarations. Prosecutors recommend criminal charges for false statements and illicit enrichment, raising urgent questions about accountability and public trust.
