Opposition Senator and former Attorney General (AG) Faris Al-Rawi has challenged the government to act with vigour as he waits to see its next move following a US Court of Appeal affirming a US$131 judgment in the Piarco airport scandal.

On September 10, Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal upheld the judgment against businessman and former UNC financier Steve Ferguson.

A three-judge panel affirmed a Miami-Dade jury’s finding that Ferguson engaged in fraud related to inflated contracts for the Piarco International Airport project.
