AN acting assistant superintendent of prisons, currently being held under a state of emergency detention order, has called on Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro to launch an investigation into alleged unauthorised meetings between Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander and incarcerated gang leaders before the 2025 general election.
In a letter, accompanied by a request for “the paper trail” of the minister’s visits, attorney Krystal Primus alleged that Alexander, before his ministerial appointment, engaged in personal visits with high-risk inmates at the Maximum-Security Prison without proper authorisation from the then acting commissioner of police or the then commissioner of prisons, Carlos Coraspe.
Primus said her client believes the meetings raised questions about the integrity of the Ministry of Homeland Security and suggested they may have involved discussions of pre-election support and promises of government contracts.
