ATTORNEYS for murder accused and suspected gang leader Rajaee Ali say government has been spreading false information about him in order to justify the enacting of serious security measures including the state of emergency (SoE) and also pave the way his possible extra-judicial killing.

In a letter to the Prisons Commissioner dated July 29, Ali’s lawyer Keron Ramkhalwhan said that reports linking Ali to a plot against the judiciary and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions were “misinformation and a false narrative.”

The letter also disputed claims that Ali escaped custody, that drones were seen over Teteron Barracks in Chaguaramas, and that his transfer from MSP to the barracks was due to national security concerns.
