The United Kingdom Government has been asked to provide details of any and all steps it has taken to ensure that corruption and fraud in Bermuda is "properly investigated".The request was made in a new report on British Overseas Territories by the Foreign Affairs Committee, which is appointed by the House of Commons to examine the administration, expenditure and policy of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and its associated agencies.

Insurance management firm Bott and Associates has been strongly criticized by Bermuda's Registrar of Companies for its lack of help with an investigation into Sentinel Insurance Company.In an affidavit filed at a U. S. Bankruptcy Court, Jeremy Cox stated that Sentinel's Bermuda representative had shown "a disturbing lack of co-operation" with an inquiry into what appears to have been a massive fraud.
