Preventive Detention Orders issued against business executives Dominic Hadeed, Genevieve Hadeed and Star Sabga allege they were involved in an ongoing conspiracy to assassinate members of the Government.

The allegations are contained in legal notices published in an Extraordinary Gazette, which outlines the intelligence authorities say justified the detention orders under the Emergency Powers Regulations.

According to the notices, Dominic Hadeed allegedly made statements advocating violence against government officials and was considered capable of facilitating serious organised criminal activity because of his financial means and influence.
