THE Estate Management and Business Development Company Ltd (EMBD) has filed new allegations against former housing minister Dr Roodal Moonilal, several contractors, and former executives in the multi-million dollar cartel claim lawsuit brought against them by the state-owned company.

At a February 11 status hearing, Justice Frank Seepersad was informed that an amended statement of the case had been filed by the EMBD earlier that same morning, significantly expanding the claims against the defendants.

Senior Counsel Fyard Hosein, who represents one of the defendants, was outraged by the latest development, describing it as “incredible.”
