By Staff Reporter THE Balearic government is drawing up new legislation in an effort to combat corruption in government departments. It follows at least three cases of alleged corruption involving high level officials from the previous administration.

The local minister for the Treasury Carles Manera said yesterday that the legislation should be in place in three months´ times. “It will place more controls on public officials and departments,” he said. Also, the local government intends to place independent auditors in government departments. But Manera said that the three cases of alleged corruption which had come to light involved people and not whole departments.
