The New Today Newspaper
Grenada, W.I. - A leading and influential figure in the steelband movement is now formally under investigation by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) for alleged financial irregularities.
THE NEW TODAY understands from reliable sources that the person was interviewed on Friday by the FIU based on a formal complaint lodged against him by a steel orchaestra that he had headed for several years.
The source who spoke on condition that he was not identified said that the band brought a file to the FIU last Wednesday with certain information and the individual concerned was called in two days later to be interviewed.
He said that the FIU was expected to conduct another interview with the individual this week.
“The man is in serious trouble”, said the source.
Another senior member of the band involved confirmed to this newspaper that a file has been handed over to the FIU and the individual was called in to be questioned on certain financial dealings involving the band’s money.
The file was handed over after several behind the scene manoeuvres to reach a settlement on alleged misappropriation of the band’s funds.
THE NEW TODAY also understands that both the FIU and Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) might also be called in by government to investigate the use of funds given last year by the Spicemas Corporation (SMC) to build a stage for the holding of the 2017 panorama competition.
Government was forced to set up a two-man Commission of Inquiry after the show was called off at the last minute as the stage was not built.

This sounds like Another Creole Bacchanal! Lol
When they're finished, send 'em to T&T.
Mercer: All members of the PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE have PARTY CARDS. Which makes them UNTOUCHABLE. So you could send the FIU or the RGPF or the FBI or the CIA or KGB or the M16 or even the new COP that Rowley vote in yesterday -- PAN TRINBAGO has complete jurisdiction over how it chooses to spend the TWENTY TWO MILLION that DOLLY is about to hand over to them for PANORAMA 2019.
42 Million in debt and headed to 45 million after this next Carnival and not ONE MAN QUESTIONED!!!
