(Trinidad Express) Things seem to be turning against Jack Warner. The Integrity Commission has asked President Anthony Carmona to appoint a tribunal to investigate the Chaguanas West MP and former National Security minister.
The President-appointed tribunal will determine whether Warner’s declarations of his income, assets and liabilities to the Integrity Commission can stand scrutiny and constitute full disclosure of his financial affairs.
Warner, who appeared at one time to be riding the crest of a wave, now seems to be becalmed, with a series of reversals since his Independent Liberal Party’s (ILP) poor showing at the local government election last November.
In a release issued yesterday, the Integrity Commission said it took note in April 2013 of the report of the Integrity Committee appointed by the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Associations of Football—Concacaf (chaired by former Barbados chief justice Sir David Simmons) which alleged Warner committed fraud against Concacaf and FIFA, in connection with the Centre of Excellence in Macoya and in respect of financial statements of Concacaf.
That damning report found Warner had, among other things, deceived “persons and organisations” about his ownership of the Centre of Excellence.
