Fraud Squad asks questions about bag of letters

FORMER Junior Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan and Anderson Morris, founder and public relations officer, respectively, of the Guardian Angels met yesterday with members of the Fraud Squad department.

This, as investigations as to how a bag of letters containing bank statements and other correspondence came into the group’s possession last Saturday morning began. Fraud Squad sources confirmed meeting with both Khan and Morris, who also acknowledged the meeting.  Morris met with officers at the Fraud Squad’s Port-of-Spain office from 8 am, while Khan was interviewed at an attorney’s office. The meeting with Morris lasted for about 30 minutes, during which time the names of people on 159 letters were given to the police for their investigations, which is being spearheaded by Sgt Kester McKain.

Khan, the Barataria/San Juan MP, told Newsday that he cooperated fully with the police investigators.  However, he said, he felt he was being attacked for doing his civic duty as the founder of the Guardian Angels. “I am being looked upon as someone being investigated. I am being attacked unfairly,” he said.  Morris, when contacted, said he will have another meeting with Fraud Squad officers today at the same location. Morris said the only thing he felt he was wrong to do was to catalogue the letters, but he wanted to have proof of the letters. The letters were handed over to the Fraud Squad by officers of the Barataria/El Socorro Police Station on Wednesday. All the letters were addressed to Central residents, Morris said, but there were no names of prominent people. Sources said among other things the Fraud Squad will be investigating whether or not there was a breach of security by the TTPost.
