Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan said yesterday that the alleged collusion between police ranks and the persons who escaped from a Brazilian aircraft shortly after it landed on an illegal airstrip in Region Nine last month is still being investigated.
As a result, he said he did not want to jump to any conclusions.
It was Minister of State Joseph Harmon who confirmed that there were reports of collusion.
“There is some information available to the authorities which is suggesting a certain level of collusion and that information we take very seriously and it will inform the way in which we deal with the actual deployment of ranks,” Harmon had told a post-Cabinet press briefing on September 7.
