…the time has come for a criminal investigation at NIS – TrotmanNews coming out of The Bahamas as it relates to monies invested by Colonial Life Insurance Company (CLICO) Guyana has now turned the local financial debacle into a horror story.This is according to leader of the Alliance For Change, Raphael Trotman, who in an invited comment yesterday said that enough is enough and the time has come for a criminal investigation into the investment by the National Insurance Scheme into CLICO (Guyana).According to Trotman,NFL Jerseys Outlet, something is not right and it is now obvious that criminality abounded. He questioned who authorized the more than $6B investment into CLICO (Guyana) and how exactly the money reached out of the country into a private bank account in the United States of America.He questioned why it is that the money could not have been utilised in a secure investment with guaranteed returns.The liquidator of CLICO (Bahamas), Craig Tony Gomez, has indicated that a preliminary review of the contracts forwarded to him reveals that CLICO (Guyana) may have had policy contracts with its customers and then the funds were forwarded to CLICO (Bahamas), principally the Turks and Caicos branch.“It appears that while the funds forwarded to The Bahamas were recorded in the records of CLICO (Bahamas),Jerseys NFL Wholesale, the cash actually appeared to have flowed into the United States of America bank account directly from Guyana…,” Gomez is quoted by the Nassau Guardian as saying.He said that, unfortunately, the contracts entered into with CLICO (Bahamas) do not appear to have been standard policy contracts,Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic, but in many cases could easily appear to be the transfer of funds to The Bahamas that could easily be classified as related party loans rather than policies.“I have received substantial evidence to support my view that most of the funds were received into a United States bank account,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys,” Gomez says. “I am continuing to examine this matter.”In his report to the court, the liquidator listed a number of concerns.
