The Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) is seeking legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to determine if charges should be instituted against persons implicated in an alleged fraud committed during the construction of the New Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) headquarters.
Head of SOCU Sydney James yesterday explained that the unit was tasked with investigations pertaining to the rehabilitation of the GMC’s office building and $1.3 billion taken from the Contingencies Fund for the GMC’s fertilizer programme.
