A probe into a $300,000 donation to the 2012 One Bermuda Alliance election campaign is still underway — four weeks after it was suggested the party would make a statement before the end of May.

“The investigation is still active and ongoing,” said OBA chairman Thad Hollis.

The news came weeks after Mr Hollis announced an investigation into the donation in the wake of the Jetgate affair, which resulted in Craig Cannonier resigning as Premier.

A source said last night: “I don’t know what’s taking so long — but I believe they are very close to producing this thing.

“You can’t leave it hanging — I think Thad Hollis knows what he wants to get out of it. It’s a question of getting there.”

Speaking on May 19, only hours before Mr Cannonier announced his resignation, then Deputy Premier Michael Dunkley, who took over as leader, said Mr Hollis could issue his findings within a week.

Mr Cannonier resigned after he, Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell, then-Attorney General Marc Pettingill and Mr Cannonier’s business associate Stephen DaCosta travelled to Washington DC in March 2013 on a private jet owned by business tycoon Nathan Landow for a meeting with the US businessman to discuss potential investment in Bermuda.

More than a year later it emerged that Mr Landow and other US businessmen had donated $300,000 to the OBA in the run-up to the December 2012 general election after meeting Mr Cannonier in the US.

The cash was said to have gone to the OBA-linked Bermuda Political Action Club.

Mr Hollis launched his probe in mid-May after confirming the party did not receive the cash from Mr Landow and his associates.

Mr Cannonier, who denied any wrongdoing, resigned a few days later.

Mr Dunkley said days after Mr Hollis announced the probe: “Obviously, the party chair was doing what he thought was appropriate and we move on from there and will give the community answers.

“That’s what is important to do as politicians.”

He added: “The party chair has been very forthright about it all — he would look into it and reply back, so I think people will be fully aware of what took place at that time.”

Mr Dunkley said he expected to see a statement on the row “perhaps within a week.”
