(Trinidad Express) A Westmoorings man was expected to appear before a Port of Spain Magistrate yesterday, charged with 32 counts of money laundering and one count of obtaining approximately TT$8.6 million by false representation, between the period October 2015 and April 2018.
Chris Ramsawack 54, of Schooner Court, was charged by PC Keston Williams, of the Fraud Squad, on Thursday.
