BBC agreed to fund £687k payoff after executive's move

Surely these should be the sort of payments a DG or just below has to see? Christ, maybe even a board if you're doing it right

I am sure that this could have happened in a big private company but we would never have heard about it. But because this is publicly funded we find out via FOI requests.

I'm wondering if there's any way of charging people

Probably not. Overpaying is not a crime even if it is public money, unless they knew that they were overpaying and why. Then they could be co defendants in a fraud case.

Clearly they are trying to cover their backs. Someone screwed up and heads need to roll.
