Police Commissioner Leslie James yesterday confirmed that the ongoing investigation of former government Member of Parliament (MP) Charrandass Persaud stems from a report of bribery and possible plans to move gold out of the country.
“It’s a report of alleged bribery and perhaps some movement of gold from the state of Guyana,” James told a press conference that was called at his office to specifically address the probe.
He also made the point of assuring that the police are conducting “an impartial investigation,” while noting that Persaud is innocent until proven guilty.
