A Canal Number Two Polder farmer, who was charged with aiding an attempt to traffic over 100 pounds of cocaine, and offering a bribe of almost $1.5 million to a Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) officer for his release, was yesterday sentenced to three years in jail.
Rajesh Kissoondyal called `Paddle’, was charged alongside Shamkumar Hariprashad with attempting to bribe CANU officer, Lyndon Thompson by offering him $1,495,000 for Kissoondyal’s release on January 5, 2018 at Homestretch Avenue.
The charge against Hariprashad, however, was withdrawn by CANU prosecutor Konyo Sandiford.
