Iceland’s parliamentary banking collapse investigators have decided to allow those accused of wrongdoing more time to respond.
The committee members sent out letters warning 12 public figures that they will be mentioned in the so called ‘black report’ into the banking crisis, due for release within weeks. The 12 were given a limited amount of time to reply; but have now been granted an extension until the 24th February. Only public officials have the legal right to reply to the committee’s accusations, so it is only those 12 people who have been pre-warned by the committee.
The twelve public officials include former Prime Minister and Central Bank of Iceland head, David Oddsson; former Prime Minister, Geir H. Haarde; former Minister for Trade, Bjorgvin Sigurdsson; former Foreign Minister Ingibjorg Solrun Gisladottir and former Finance Minister, Arni Mathiesen.
Visir.is reports that a statement from the committee says that the extension was offered to all 12 as a matter of fairness, but that submissions may be made before the deadline. In light of the two delays already to the report’s publication, the statement says the committee still hopes to publish its report at the beginning of March.

Expect that Mr Darling and Mr Wellink arent on the list.. But they should be.
Don’t forget that Ingimundur is meant to be on it Fisy. Be good to see what they have to say about him.
And David.
“Expect that Mr Darling and Mr Wellink arent on the list..”
I wasn’t aware that they were responsible for running the Icelandic banks or economy. Wasn’t the Idiotic Party in power at that time? Why not blame them?
