The cases were initially declined to be investigated by the Auditor of State’s Office, which said Miami Twp.’s financial system had detected and stopped the attempted transaction.

However, at the request of the township’s legal counsel, the office provided details on Ohio’s Fiscal Integrity Act, which outlines procedures for removing officials from office.

On Friday, the governor’s office confirmed that the Auditor of State’s Special Investigations Unit had opened an investigation into Miami Twp., but that is our normal operating procedure when we receive Fiscal Integrity Act complaints, which we did in this instance from the township.

周五，州长办公室确认，州特别调查部门的审计师已经对迈阿密TWP进行了调查，但这是我们在收到财政完整性法案投诉时的正常操作程序，在这种情况下，这是我们从乡镇进行的。

“Because it’s an open investigation, we have no further comment at this time.”

“因为这是一个公开调查，所以我们目前没有进一步的评论。”

When reached for comment Friday, both township Trustee President Terry Posey Jr. and Matthews declined to comment on the pending investigation.

In a lawsuit filed last month in Montgomery County seeking an injunction, the township alleged that Matthews acted without approval when making financial agreements — including two deals totaling $9.7 million to buy 3,000 gold coins at above-market prices.

在上个月在蒙哥马利县提起的诉讼中，该镇声称，马修斯在达成财务协议时未经批准采取行动，其中包括两项总计970万美元的交易，以高于市场价格购买3,000枚金币。

He also allegedly arranged for the coins to be stored in Texas for an annual fee. Matthews filed a response to the injunction request by its May 13 deadline, saying the lawsuit was without merit.

据称，他还安排了将硬币存储在德克萨斯州的年费。马修斯（Matthews）于5月13日的截止日期对禁令请求作出了回应，称诉讼没有根据。

Asked for comment regarding that filing, he said, “I want the decision made in the court of law, not the court of public opinion.”

当被问及有关该文件的评论时，他说：“我希望在法院，而不是公众舆论法院做出决定。”
