ELEVEN and a half years after the Life­Sport programme collapsed amid allegations of rampant corrup­tion, the Trinidad and Toba­go Police Service (TTPS) has secured a production order from the High Court to exam­ine the fi­nancial records and other related documents of 59 companies.

These companies were linked to 104 indi­viduals connected to the programme during the five-year period between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2015­—individuals and entities investigators believe they need to probe to determine if they played a part in bleeding the ill-fated programme of $440 million.

Sworn witness statement: Former Ministry of Sport insider Ruth Marchan was heavily involved in the ill-fated LifeSport initiative.
