Subject: Official Information Act request - Progress on the
investigation into the anonymous donations to Len Brown in the past two
local body elections

Dear New Zealand Police,

In February this year  My complaint  was forwarded to the police by the
Auckland council.

It had been  identified that Mayor Brown had received some 3/4 million
dollars over the past two elections from  the New Auckland  council
trust .an unidentified body which according to the case law  Wilson V
Sutton  does not have any independent legal existence.

If Mr Brown has received  and retained this money   from an anonymous
source then  this is a serious matter of public corruption and he should
not remain in  office.

If  everything is over and above board then the public have a right to
know .

It has been nearly a year since the  matter was first reported to
 Auckland council  this matter is of public importance  and a resolution
should be available

Please  advise by way of OIA   what progress has been made on this
matter   and if the police have been able to identify who the New
Auckland council trust is  and the reason for  the persons shielding by
 hind a pseudonym

Yours faithfully,

Grace Haden
