it all depends what the Contract says

In any case, no way could an internal investigation be used to establish Johnson's guilt or otherwise (how would you feel if you had pleaded Not Guilty to a drink drive charge, and yet an internal investigation at work found you guilty?).

The trigger for any sacking would probably be "found guilty in a criminal court" (ergo his guilty plea)
