Just 13 days af­ter Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar en­dorsed a warn­ing by At­tor­ney Gen­er­al John Je­re­mie that no seg­ment of so­ci­ety, in­clud­ing the so-called “one per cent,” was be­yond the reach of the law, the own­er of Blue Wa­ters Lim­it­ed, Do­minic Hadeed and his wife Genevieve, were ar­rest­ed by po­lice yes­ter­day.

Al­though it re­mained un­clear up to last evening ex­act­ly what charges the cou­ple were fac­ing, the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is­sued a re­lease con­firm­ing that their ar­rests had re­sult­ed from an on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro con­firmed the ar­rests, but all oth­er re­lat­ed ques­tions, even at a TTPS me­dia brief­ing where the ar­rests were an­nounced, went unan­swered.
