Brazilian authorities are claiming that the abandoned aircraft that was discovered on the illegal airstrip near Santa Fe, in Region Nine in August, was stolen, Minister of State Joseph Harmon said yesterday.
During a post-Cabinet press briefing, Harmon said that a request was made to the Brazilians to provide some information on this allegation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
This, he added, has not been forthcoming.
Harmon also announced that the police investigation into the discovery has been completed and a report with recommendations was sent to Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan.
