SOCU Head files libel suit against Slowe

Paul Slowe

Head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), Senior Superintendent Fazil Karimbaksh has filed a $70 million libel suit against retired Assistant Commissioner of Police and former Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Paul Slowe whom he says has made certain defamatory statements against him.

High Court Judge Navindra Singh has since granted Karimbaksh an injunction which prohibits Slowe from making any further publications regarding him. That order, however, expired last Friday.

It is unclear whether Karimbaksh has made an application to extend the order made by Justice Singh.
