SOCU probe into Brutus finds no evidence of crime

Calvin Brutus,

The investigation into Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Calvin Brutus, conducted by the Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU), has officially concluded with no evidence of any offence being committed. Documentation obtained by Stabroek News yesterday confirmed the closure, as signed by Assistant Commissioner and Head of SOCU Fazil Karimbaksh.

Efforts made yesterday to contact Brutus and Karimbaksh for comments proved unsuccessful.

The investigation focused on allegations of money laundering and other serious offences, but the findings did not substantiate any such claims. “Investigations were conducted which revealed that [no] case of money laundering nor any serious offence was established, as advised by the DPP. Hence this investigation is closed,” the statement read.
