CBI Director General Tony Danker Fired Over Misconduct Allegations
Tony Danker, the director-general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), has been fired following an investigation into his conduct towards several employees. Three other CBI employees have also been suspended pending a probe into other allegations. The CBI is also liaising with the police who are looking into the claims. The scandals have left the CBI facing its biggest crisis since it was founded in 1965. Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's former chief economist, has been appointed as the new director-general.
