A rank attached to the Guyana Police Force’s Fraud Squad last Friday took a statement from an Alberttown, Georgetown businessman regarding $10 million which was reportedly paid to him by head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) Sydney James for the rental of vehicles.
This development comes amidst concerns that the recommendations of the audit of SOCU are being ignored and more than a month after the police legal advisor, retired Justice Claudette Singh, instructed that additional statements be taken.
Fizal Ali, the power of attorney for his son, who is the owner of Aidan’s Car Rental, told Sunday Stabroek yesterday that the rank indicated that he wanted a statement about the transactions between him and James, particularly when the vehicles were rented.
