THE Office of the Attorney Gene­ral under the previous government spent $1 billion in legal fees, inclu­ding $13.2 million paid to former AG Reginald Armour.

This was disclosed in the Parlia­ment, at the Red House, Port of Spain, yesterday by Legal Affairs Minister Saddam Hosein, in his con­tribution to the mid-year budget review.

Hosein said “this is where the money went”, as he listed attorneys and legal houses that have received millions in legal fees from the previous administration.
