Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall yesterday awarded damages and costs to the tune of more than $10 million to be paid by retired Assistant Commis-sioner of Police Paul Slowe to Head of the Spe-cial Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) Fazil Karimbaksh for libel.
Karimbaksh had filed a $70m lawsuit against Slowe for the libel in March 2022.
Justice Morris-Ramlall also issued a permanent injunction preventing Slowe from publishing any further defamatory words concerning Karimbaksh, according to a release from the police force.
