Emailgate probers to get foreign help

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Although his meeting with Attorney General Anand Ramlogan and Local Government Minister Suruj Rambachan did not pan out yesterday, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mervyn Richardson said the investigations into “emailgate” were “at pace” and foreign help was on the way. Richardson was appointed to conduct the probe into the e-mails disclosed by Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley during his motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister on May 20. The content of the e-mails allegedly exposed a criminal conspiracy by high office-holders to discredit and physically harm a journalist; to plant bugs in the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP); to have the DPP removed from office; and to accept payment from an unnamed person in exchange for freedom in relation to the Section 34 fiasco.
