Dundee SNP » Blog Archive » Dundee BB to Benefit from Cashback for Communities: "Justice secretary Kenny Macaskill announced a £1.5 million expansion of the Cashback for Communities programme on a visit to the 6/8th BB unit in Lochee on Thursday. The latest round of money for the scheme, which distributes the proceeds of crime to worthwhile community causes, is largely the result of profits confiscated from the Glasgow engineering firm this month after it admitted bribing allies of the Iraqi dictator to secure lucrative oil contracts.
Part of that money will be used for a £500,000 investment in a grant scheme run by Youth Scotland that helps youth groups — including the Dundee BB unit — set up new facilities or expand their existing work."
