The trial of former Ministry of the Presidency Permanent Secretary Omar Shariff and his common-law wife Savitri Hardeo, who are charged with failing to comply with a court order, began yesterday with testimony from two police witnesses, who detailed the seizure of documents for what one of them called a money-laundering probe.
Police Superintendent Brian Vieira and Assistant Superintendent Trevor Reid, who are attached to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), took the stand yesterday when the trial began before Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
