The police are looking into a situation where a lawyer thinks a driver for a politician got a very expensive piece of land as a gift.
The land is worth a lot of money.
The lawyer suspects something isn't right because it seems strange that the land owners would give such a valuable gift.
The police are checking if the gift was done legally, talking to people involved, and looking at documents.
They haven't decided yet if a crime happened.
The driver hasn't provided the requested documents, and the politician's son says his family isn't involved.
