Cop alleges cover up in ‘Paper Shorts’ murder probe

A detective has accused senior ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) of major corruption, including accepting a multi-million dollar payoff from a city businessman to cover up the murder of Roger Khan associate Ricardo Fagundes.

Detective Sergeant Dion Bascom’s bombshell allegations, which he made in a live broadcast on Facebook on Thursday night, have since triggered a probe by the GPF’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

A source told Stabroek News that he was contacted by the head of the unit and asked to come in for an interview. It is unclear whether Bascom did so yesterday.
