THE High Court’s proceedings and documents relating to the PNM’s second Cepep lawsuit have been sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Supreme Court Registrar Raymond Roberts confirmed to Newsday that the file was sent on August 8 and the DPP’s secretariat acknowledged receipt.

On August 7, Justice Margaret Mohammed stayed the lawsuit and referred the extension of more than 300 Cepep contracts, allegedly approved by the company's former board without proper authorisation, to the DPP.
