The premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands has resigned following an investigation that found \"clear signs\" of corruption in the territory\'s government.
Michael Misick\'s announcement comes a week earlier than expected.
Misick had previously said he would step down because he has lost the public\'s support.
A British inquiry has been investigating claims that members of his party misused public money and profited from the sale of government-owned land.
Britain said it would dissolve the Cabinet and legislature of the territory southeast of the Bahamas and that control would be transferred to Governor Gordon Wetherell.
