Acting Chief Magistrate: I have done no wrong

Act­ing Chief Mag­is­trate Bri­an Dabideen has cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly de­nied any wrong­do­ing fol­low­ing the ex­e­cu­tion of a search war­rant by the po­lice at his Gulf View, San Fer­nan­do, res­i­dence on Mon­day.

Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro con­firmed that the raid was part of a mul­ti-na­tion­al in­ves­ti­ga­tion. While di­vulging on­ly a few de­tails, he con­firmed that items of ev­i­den­tial val­ue were seized from the mag­is­trate.

Gue­var­ro said: “This mat­ter forms part of a broad­er po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­volv­ing both lo­cal and in­ter­na­tion­al law en­force­ment part­ners.
