Inspector and wife to appear in court today

Ramdass and the 36-year-old woman were arrested on Thursday last by members of the Fraud Squad led by Senior Superintendent Totaram Dookhie. The woman was arrested at the couple’s Princes Town home while Ramdass was arrested at the Piarco International Airport where he was based.

It is alleged that during a search of the home, police found millions of dollars worth of jewellry and other valuables.

The charges were laid by Sgt Cornelius Samuel assisted by ASP Ghisiyawan, Sgt Thomas, Cpl Bassarath and PC Adams after Assistant DPP Joan Honore-Paul gave directions.

When Ramdass, who was granted station bail on Sunday, appeared before Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John yesterday, hearing of the matter was delayed because his wife was not yet taken to the court.

Newsday was told police were still processing the charges at the Maraval Police Station. The matter was subsequently adjourned.
