Days after they were each released on $200,000 station bail following several hours of questioning by officers attached to the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), former Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh and former head of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL), Winston Brassington, were asked to return to SOCU Headquarters in Georgetown on Monday; but when they did, no officer was available, or turned up, to question them.
Nandall said at that point he had to intervene and inform SOCU Head Sydney James that his clients would not be returning for further questioning.
Asked whether the $200,000 station bail that they were put on Wednesday last is an indication that they could be slapped with additional charges, the attorney said, “I inquired, and I was told that apparently there are no new charges to be instituted; at least not in the near future. I don’t know what the bail was for. However, we will have to take steps to recover those bail monies soon.”
