Former Finance Minister Winston Jordan says that he was unaware that the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) had recommended a high-level probe of gold trading in 2019.
During a telephone interview last Monday, Jordan told Stabroek News that he had no knowledge about the recommendation.
He said at no point was it brought to his attention during his tenure as Finance Minister.
“I don’t recall that any such recommendation was made and even if it was made, it didn’t come to me,” Jordan said.
