An investigation into a Liverpool councillor who was forced to step down from his cabinet role following controversy linking him to a stalled development in the city remains ongoing.
In August, Cllr Abdul Qadir stepped down from his role as cabinet member for neighbourhoods as an investigation takes place. He maintains he has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide.
An investigation by the ECHO found Cllr Qadir, who represents Picton ward, had links to a large, stalled development scheme in Vauxhall through the Liverpool-based Vega Group, which owns MV Canal, the subsidiary company behind the scheme. Cllr Qadir has been a director of Vega Group company Vega Trading since September 2014.
