AG: Some lawyers may be trying to get rich off State
Faris Al-Rawi -
ATTORNEY General Faris Al-Rawi said there is a "worrying trend" in Trinidad and Tobago where some attorneys could be trying to enrich themselves, through involvement in legal matters concerning illegal migrants and covid19. Al-Rawi made this observation in the House of Representatives on Friday as he made a statement about ongoing corruption matters and legal fees.
Referring to TT's ongoing efforts to combat the collaboration between local criminal gangs and their South American counterparts, Al-Rawi said, "These gangs engage in joint activities dealing with trafficking in persons particularly women and children, arms and ammunition and large quantities of drugs."
