POLICE have received cash detention court orders to forfeit close to $.5 million, which will be deposited into an interest-bearing seized asset in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act.
In a release on Tuesday, the police said their Financial Investigations Bureau (FIB) received three orders to forfeit $426,078.95 in three cases.
In the first case, FIB officers seized cash – TT$308,620; US$3,692; £1,830; CAN$140; and $10 said to be from the Netherlands, from Chris Harry, of Nanan Road, Lower Aranguez, on March 24, 2016.

PSA to the polls on Monday
MEMBERS of the Public Services Association (PSA) will go to the polls on Monday.
On Friday the lawsuit which led to the election being postponed from last month was withdrawn, paving the way for the election to be held.
But Curtis Cuffie, leader of Concerned Public Officers, one of the slates contesting the election, said the matter was “still very troubling,” since the voters’ list, which the court had deemed not satisfactory, was “still bad.”
At a virtual hearing last month, the list presented to Justice Nadia Kangaloo was said to be still not satisfactory. The PSA’s election committee had been given another week to publish a satisfactory final list before they return to court. The judge also warned, the court would get involved if the irregularities identified were not corrected.
