AN alleged insult on Facebook and a verbal stoush has led to the Crime and Corruption Commission being asked to investigate a Redland City councillor.
Division 9's Cr Paul Gleeson may be investigated after a complaint from Alexandra Hills resident Dan Ling, a prospective mayoral candidate.
Cr Gleeson’s twin brother Steve Gleeson and Mr Ling were reported to have had a verbal stoush after a Facebook posting in which Mr Ling allegedly insulted the brothers.
The city council referred the matter to the CCC on July 28 and also said it would hold its own internal investigation.
Cleveland CIB is also investigating.
