All requested documents handed over to SOCU

Though the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) is saying that it has not received all the documents requested from the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) in its US$500 million Guyana Rice Development Board probe, the bank continues to maintain that it has handed over all the documents.

After an in-chamber hearing before acting Chief Justice Roxane George yesterday afternoon, Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran, who is representing the bank, explained to Stabroek News everything SOCU has asked for has been supplied.

According to Ramkarran, he is yet to read a letter sent to him by Solicitor General Kim Kyte regarding what SOCU is claiming is a list of outstanding documents.
