Two employees working at the Stirling headquarters of financial
services giant Prudential have been sacked for allegedly dealing
drugs over the company's e-mail network, according to reports in
the Metro and Daily Record newspapers.
The unnamed employees were fired as soon as the coded e-mails were discovered and deciphered. Six other members of staff have been suspended or disciplined and an investigation launched.
According to the Daily Record's report, a company spokesman confirmed, "We operate a very strict code of conduct which is rigorously enforced across the company."
Central Scotland police are investigating.
