The Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of Trinidad and To­ba­go Lim­it­ed (TSTT) has de­nied spend­ing more than $400,000 on a cor­po­rate re­treat in To­ba­go, re­spond­ing to a Sun­day Guardian in­ves­ti­ga­tion which re­vealed that the com­pa­ny had been in­voiced $436,081.78 for the event held in Jan­u­ary.
