A confidential police memorandum has revealed that suspected gang leader and murder accused Rajaee Ali, previously detained at the Maximum Security Prison but now at the Teteron Barracks, Chaguaramas, requested a meeting with a senior law enforcement officer in January.
The memo, dated January 17, was seeking direct engagement with a senior police officer. Permission for the meeting to take place was sought by a deputy commissioner of police.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Richard Smith, who headed the North West and Special Operations Division, disclosed in the document that a “reliable informant” relayed Ali’s request. Smith requested authorisation to meet with Ali, with then-senior superintendent Roger Alexander present, and called for arrangements to be made through the Commissioner of Prisons.
