HOUSING Minister Adrian Leonce said he does not understand why people are creating controversy about his business involvement with someone with an alleged criminal link in the UK.

In a statement on March 24, Leonce said he formed a company in the UK after deciding not to re-enter electoral politics. He was put in contact with someone in the UK who assisted in registering the business in September 2023.

Leonce said that in July 2024, he was informed that the person who registered the business in the UK and was a director, was under criminal investigation. He claimed telling that person to terminate the company immediately. He said the company was terminated on July 17, 2024.
