A move to bring a criminal charge against on-leave Ministry of the Presidency Permanent Secretary Omar Shariff and a woman was yesterday aborted after the special prosecutor assigned to the matter discovered issues with the case file.
Special prosecutor Patrice Henry and Superintendent Robert Tyndall, who is an officer attached to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), asked the court not to proceed with the charge that was about to be read to Shariff and the woman by Georgetown Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
The charge that was to be read to Shariff was for failure to comply with a production order.
