Hadeeds seek full recording used to justify detention

THE legality of the State’s decision to detain businessman Dominic Hadeed, his wife Genevieve and her aunt Star Sabga remains under challenge, with their attorneys seeking the complete recording of a telephone conversation that featured in the intelligence used against them.

The issue was among several raised yesterday when the relatives’ lawsuits returned before Justice Vigel Paul in the High Court.

Senior Counsel Douglas Mendes, who is representing the trio, said the State had so far disclosed only portions of the intercepted conversation. He maintained that the defence could not properly examine the basis for the detention orders without access to the entire recording.
