What the reports say
European Union Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, has sought to clarify reports linking the suspension of EU budget support to Sierra Leone with allegations that the country is harbouring fugitive Dutch drug trafficker Jos Leijdekkers, insisting that the halt in assistance was triggered by technical factors rather than the Leijdekkers matter.
