Two weeks after he went public with damning allegations, including that of a cover-up in the murder investigation of gold dealer Ricardo Fagundes, the police have been advised to institute several criminal charges against Detective Sergeant Dion Bascom.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that the police yesterday received legal advice from the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Bascom, who had made a request to President Irfaan Ali for witness protection, has since returned to duty.
