One day after facing misconduct in public office charges, former Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh and former Head of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) Winston Brassington yesterday faced intensive grilling about 30 land sale transactions and after being fingerprinted, were released on $200, 000 station bail each.

The duo spent almost six hours being questioned by Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) officers at the entity’s Camp Road Headquarters, a move which they described as a waste of state resources and further evidence of political vindictiveness.

They both were told to return to SOCU on Monday.
