ANSA Bank has said that to­day’s rul­ing of the High Court rep­re­sents a vic­to­ry not on­ly for ANSA Bank, but for Trinidad and To­ba­go, as the court has con­firmed that fraud­u­lent acts and re­lat­ed con­spir­a­cy will be brought to jus­tice.

In Oc­to­ber 2023, the bank filed the law­suit against for­mer em­ploy­ees, Randy Gottsleben, Ro­jas, Sankar, Ram­bar­ran, Ram­per­sad, Ram­sa­roop, Gottsleben’s part­ner Ram­s­ingh, Arnold Ram­jass Au­to Me­chan­i­cal & Paint­ing Garage, Cey­lon Mar­ket­ing Ltd, Joalex Au­to Ltd, Mi­va Im­port Ex­port Con­sul­tan­cy Ltd, Di­a­mond Con­cep­tions Com­pa­ny Ltd, and It’s A Deal Ltd.

The bank launched an in­ves­ti­ga­tion af­ter its di­rec­tor Lar­ry Howai re­ceived a let­ter from a whistle­blow­er al­leg­ing mis­con­duct and “dis­re­spect for du­ty”.
