s part of a money laundering investigation, the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) is finally in possession of specific records it had asked the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) to produce.
Though the Full Court of the High Court had last month ordered the bank to hand over the documents requested by SOCU, which says they are pertinent to the probe, the financial institution moved to the Court of Appeal for a stay of execution of the order.
At a hearing yesterday afternoon, however, Justice of Appeal Dawn Gregory denied the bank the stay.
