The multimillion-dollar land fraud probe that allegedly involved Rawle Furgeson is ongoing says Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum.
Ferguson, an entertainer and businessman, was arrested for questioning in relation to a multi-million-dollar land fraud and later released on bail.
Blanhum had told Stabroek News that police are investigating a multi-million-dollar fraud where persons obtained money from the virtual complainant by pretending that they could acquire large portions of land for him.
It is alleged that Ferguson obtained portions of the money and as a consequence, he was arrested by investigators and questioned about his role.
Ferguson has so far cooperated fully with detectives. He was placed on substantial bail pending the outcome of the investigation.
In an interview with Stabroek News Ferguson stated “I am not a fraudster. I haven’t done nothing illegal, and I don’t believe in scamming people.” Ferguson said that he is waiting on the outcome of the investigation, expressing optimism that “I will be vindicated at the end of the day after the probe.”
