Camp Cumuto probe continues

Senior Superintendent Lloyd McAlpin, head of the Organised Crime Narcotics and Firearms Bureau, is in charge of the investigation.

Sources confirmed the interviews, however the lead investigator is out of the country and could not be reached for comment.

On March 27, 2016, Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi’s teenaged son and daughter accompanied him and Minister in the Ministry of the Attorney General Stuart Young to Camp Cumuto for training at the shooting range.

Photographs were taken of the teenagers holding high-powered weapons which were outfitted with live ammunition.

The photographs were then made public in Parliament by Oropouche East MP Roodal Moonilal last October.

The Defence Force carried out its own enquiry while the police undertook a separate investigation.

Recently, the Defence Force ended its probe and cleared the Attorney General of any wrong-doing.

Former Chief of Defence Staff Kenrick Maharaj was named in the report as the person who invited the Attorney General and his children to Camp Cumuto.

Maharaj has denied the claim and has applied for a copy of the “Report of Proceedings of the Board of Inquiry.” The information was expected to be made available in 20 days for the date of his application, last Monday.

Maharaj has said he will take legal action
