Midfield, that is to say Pettai, can sue the party, as the indebted company will surely want its money back. That could lead to asset seizures, and should Midfield apply for preliminary legal protection, also the freezing of the party's accounts. Once the case reaches the courtroom, responsibility will either fall on Toobal alone or the entire party. It is hoped that not all board members will be involved as they had no prior knowledge of the letter.
Myrmidon Toobal
Allegedly the document has been discussed with party chairman Edgar Savisaar on numerous occasions. Rumor has it Toobal was once again a simple straw man who signed the guarantee letter before thinking the matter through.
Midfield could demand the return of money it has allegedly spent after borrowing it from third parties who now want their contributions returned.
Next week will tell. The party will launch an investigation and probably create another truth committee.
It is also whispered that Savisaar's lawyers showed the document to Secretary General Oudekki Loone already a month ago, while the broader circle had no prior knowledge.
The Center Party has paid its debts to Midfield regularly, which begs the question whether this debt is something else?
