UK's top crime investigation unit to look into Nama sale

The UK’s top law enforcement body is to lead the investigation in to corruption allegations at the heart of the largest ever property deal in the North.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) – the UK's version of the FBI – said it has been asked by the Police Service of Northern Ireland to drive the inquiry in to an alleged multimillion pot to make pay-offs on the fringes of the sale of 850 properties to a US investment fund.
