The individual in question is facing disciplinary proceedings after having deleted a number of contraventions issued to pol- iticians, their aides, business people and former top LESA of- ficials from the agency's system.

While Ustinov is sail- ing provocatively between the United Kingdom and Ireland, the submarine may have slipped into the Med."
