The Clones have rubbished reports that former Deputy Emperor Sleeze did not die in the accident at the ODS HQ and is alive and well, but in hiding. Reports in the Dino and UNP media have said that Sleeze was not at the ODS HQ, his plane was shot down by a Clone Air Force fighter, however he managed to survive.
A spokesclone for Emperor Terin said the reports were "fantasy". "Deputy Emperor Sleeze died in the tragic accident and his memory is honoured by the Emperor and the Clone Star Empire." he said.
However, Clone Security Service (CSS) troops are said to be conducting searches of properties known to belong to Sleeze.
