HIGH Court justice Frank Seepersad has raised damning questions regarding the conduct of attorney Varun Debideen in connection with what the judge ruled was a fraudulent scheme involving the misappropriation of $7 million.

In a judgment delivered on Tuesday, Seepersad declared that Debideen’s involvement in drafting a “sham loan” agreement played a pivotal role in a conspiracy to defraud Advanced Hose Marketing Ltd of millions.

The case centred around a loan agreement purporting to outline a $24 million transaction between two of the defendants, contractor Cordell Philbert and Joash Ramjattan.
