## Resource

A top council official’s luxury Audi Q5 was downgraded to a Ford Focus after a crash caused by a protection officer who took it for a personal errand — and then tried to fix it secretly through a relative. The vehicle had no logbook, the officer lacked required training (because there’s no contracted protection service), and the crash went unreported for days. Investigations reveal systemic failures in vehicle management and staff training, with the officer’s hostile behavior and amateur repairs raising alarms about accountability and safety protocols for high-level officials.
