No further complaints made by SOCU over GBTI documents – counsel

The Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) at a hearing before the acting Chief Justice on Friday, made no further complaints of documents provided by the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) being insufficient in its US$500 million Guyana Rice Development Board probe.

Speaking with Stabroek News after the in-chamber hearing, Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran who is representing the bank, said it seems SOCU, after checking, now realizes that it has been sufficiently supplied with the documents requested.

SOCU had repeatedly complained of not being provided with all documents asked for, while the bank’s contention has been that it had supplied everything SOCU has asked for.
