The filing of charges in several cases investigated by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) has been stalled due to delays by the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Police Legal Advisor (PLA) in reviewing the files sent.
“We don’t charge people unless they [the DPP and the PLA] say charge. There are several files… plenty files,” a source told Sunday Stabroek.
British advisor Sam Sittlington, who has been working closely with SOCU, earlier this year expressed concern that many of the cases initiated when he was here last year were still with either the DPP or the PLA.
