Head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) Assistant Com-missioner Sydney James yesterday testified that former Ministry of the Pre-sidency Permanent Secre-tary Omar Shariff admitted via letter that he did not fully comply with a court order to produce documents related to businesses operated by him and his wife.
James made the disclosure to Magistrate Fabayo Azore, while testifying at the trial of Shariff and his common-law wife, Savitri Hardeo, who are charged with failing to comply with a court order.
The order had compelled Shariff, and Hardeo, both of Dowding Street, Kitty, to produce certain named documents within seven days to James, who is the head of SOCU, on or before October 14, 2016, at Georgetown.
