Gonzales on purported plot to disrupt General Election

Days be­fore T&T de­cides who will lead it for the next five years, Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Mar­vin Gon­za­les says he is aware of who may be be­hind a pur­port­ed plot to dis­rupt the gen­er­al elec­tions.

Gon­za­les warned trou­ble­mak­ers that he was aware of who they were and even who their fi­nanciers may be, sug­gest­ing that a po­lit­i­cal par­ty may be re­spon­si­ble for the threat.

At a po­lice me­dia brief­ing ear­li­er this week, act­ing Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Ju­nior Ben­jamin re­port­ed that he re­ceived in­tel­li­gence that there were plans from cer­tain un­named el­e­ments to “dis­rupt the elec­toral process”.
