An attempt by the principals of alleged Ponzi scheme, Accelerated Capital Firm Inc (ACFI), to prevent authorities from investigating their activities and instituting charges against them has been thrown out by the High Court.
According to a statement from Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall, the matter was heard by the acting Chief Justice last Wednesday, at which point she struck out the Fixed Date Application (FDA) through which Yuri Garcia Dominguez and Ateeka Ishmeal had applied for orders restraining the Guyana Police Force (GPF) from “accepting complaints” from those who invested in the alleged Ponzi scheme.
They has also asked the court to prevent the AG from directing the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Guyana Securities Council, Central Bank and the GPF from investigating or continuing to investigate the contracts and terms of the contracts signed with investors.
