The Guyana Police Force’s Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) has announced that it is investigating 14 allegations of fraud against APNU+AFC Chief Scrutineer Carol Smith-Joseph over the alleged misappropriation of some $6 million from a private company, the Mahaica Abary Rice Development Scheme (MARDS) Rice Milling Complex Limited.
According to a statement issued on Friday, SOCU indicated that the crimes were allegedly perpetrated in 2016 but it only received a report from MARDS Rice Milling Complex Limited in March this year.
Smith-Joseph is said to have been a director of the company at the time.
