RE: The Integrity Commission v. Google, Inc., N.D. Cl No. 3:14-mc-80229-WHO
Dear Madam Prime Minister,
I am pleased to confirm that Google, Inc. has provided the requested the information for all emails exchanged between yourself (kamlabp1@gmail.com) and former Attorney General Anand Ramlogan (anand@tstt.net.tt) for the period September 1st 2012 to September 31st 2012. This, of course, is the relevant time-frame in which certain offensive emails were alleged to have been exchanged between the two accounts, which gave rise to allegations of a criminal conspiracy.
As an interested party to those proceedings, we were duly served by Google’s attorneys with the subject emails. This would have been served on the attorneys acting for the applicant, the Integrity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago. It is therefore a matter for the Integrity Commission to vindicate you by making the appropriate announcement to confirm these facts.
I am pleased to advise that there has been no match for any of the emails contained in the document produced by the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Keith Rowley, which prompted the Integrity Commission’s investigation. For avoidance of doubt, none of the offending emails in that document were found to have sent from or received by kamlapb1@gmail.com and anand@tstt.net.tt .
