Offices searched in Robinson investigation
Offices at Castlereagh Borough Council have been searched by a police team investigating allegations made against Iris Robinson in a recent TV programme.
The PSNI have confirmed they were at the East Belfast building on Saturday night.
A group from the organised crime branch is carrying out an enquiry after a documentary alleged Mrs Robinson secured a £50,000 loan from two wealthy developers to help her 19-year-old lover set up a restaurant.
It is claimed she did not declare an interest in the business despite sitting on the council that awarded the tender.
Mrs Robinson quit her three political positions as an MP, MLA and councillor after it emerged she had an affair with Kirk McCambley.
