Three Men Reported To PPS Over Stormont Inquiry
Three men have been reported to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) in relation to allegations over witness coaching at Stormont's NAMA inquiry.
It is understood Daithi McKay and loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson were two of the three men reported to the PPS.
Mr Bryson was giving evidence to the committee's inquiry into the controversial sale of NAMA's Northern Ireland assets to a US investment fund.
An investigation was launched after leaked Twitter messages were published between Mr Bryson, Mr McKay and the Twitter account of Sinn Fein north Antrim activist Thomas O'Hara.
Detectives have sent files on all three men to prosecutors after questioning them individually. The PPS will decide whether or not to pursue a case.
Mr McKay resigned as an MLA for Sinn Fein after the Twitter messages were published, and the party suspended Mr O'Hara.
