-police still to take action
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has advised that the two cops who were involved in the abduction of Kevin Fiedtkou at the Giftland parking lot on October 10 be charged with conspiracy, well-placed sources say.
Despite the advice from the DPP for the men to be charged with conspiracy, the police have not acted.
Fiedtkou has expressed frustration at the sloth in the investigation of two cops who were alleged conspirators in the crime.
Around 10 weeks have passed and the police are still to bring charges.
The police had stated that Fiedtkou reported that around 12:30 hours on the date of the attack, three men held him against his will at the Giftland Mall compound. They then took him to his home at Providence, East Bank Demerara, where he handed over $9,500,000. Fiedtkou said the men also removed his network video recording (NVR) device.
The man told Stabroek News that he was on his way to wash his pickup when he was abducted by the trio. He said the men claimed to be policemen, but when he asked for their identification, none was provided.
Fiedtkou further related that he has a small sand truck business which generates a cash flow for him and at the time, he had $9.5 million at home, which the men took along with his NVR. The following day, the same men revisited in a police car and demanded more money which he did not have. He said he eventually gave the men whatever loose cash he had and they left his home. Fiedtkou said that after some careful consideration about which station to report the matter to, he proceeded to do so.
