If there is nothing to hide Scotland Yard should lead

Thursday, August 1, 2024

EDITOR, The Tribune.

DID the Commissioner advise of the arrival of Scotland Yard or at the very least announce when they will arrive?

Scotland Yard should run the investigation. Any other suggestion reeks of cover up. It seems the intended approach suggested in the media by the police will lead to suppression of facts and will lead to a severely limited scope from any international assistance. In short, the Commissioner and the PM are playing games. If there’s nothing to hide and they are truly wanting to be transparent (which we know they’re not), Scotland Yard should lead the investigation with the police totally hands off.

To have the local police investigate the local police is a sick joke. You will never get to the truth and nothing of substance will be shared with the people. This is a huge issue. I trust the media will keep their eyes on this matter and push for answers for the country.

Has Scotland Yard ever asked the Bahamas to investigate a case for Scotland Yard?

No but serious matters such as this pertaining to Scotland Yard is investigated by the IOPC which is not police itself. It's an independent body.

Birdie, birdie, fly away. Lol. If you pay attention to international news you would know that when you have major allegations of Police Corruption you bring in an independent party to investigate. This is just basic. If a police department in the US is accused of something as severe as this you may have the FBI come in to investigate or you may have some task force appointed by the Justice Department. You DO NOT let the corrupt police investigate themselves. I guess you didn't figure that out.

Bahamian law prohibits any other law enforcement agency to lead an investigation in the country.
The politicians know that.

So that is why the PM has his PF sycophants pretending to "investigate" this matter instead of setting up a Commission of Inquiry where outside experts CAN investigate the PF.

But this will backfire on the New Day crew
