Westmoorings woman, 69, becomes third person detained in Hadeed matter

Po­lice have de­tained a 69-year-old West­moor­ings busi­ness­woman as part of the on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­volv­ing busi­ness­man Do­minic Hadeed and his wife Genevieve.

A state­ment by the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) did not re­veal who the per­son is but said she is cur­rent­ly as­sist­ing with the on­go­ing in­ves­tiga­tive process.

The state­ment added that no charges have been laid.

"The TTPS re­it­er­ates that be­ing tak­en in­to cus­tody for the pur­pose of as­sist­ing with en­quiries is a stan­dard in­ves­tiga­tive pro­ce­dure and does not con­sti­tute a find­ing of wrong­do­ing or ad­verse in­fer­ence," the state­ment said.

It added that TTPS re­mains com­mit­ted to en­sur­ing that all in­ves­tiga­tive steps are con­duct­ed pro­fes­sion­al­ly, im­par­tial­ly, and with full re­spect for the le­gal and rep­u­ta­tion­al rights of all in­di­vid­u­als in­volved.

"As this mat­ter re­mains ac­tive, no fur­ther in­for­ma­tion can be dis­closed at this time. The TTPS will con­tin­ue to pro­vide up­dates as ap­pro­pri­ate and re­mains stead­fast in its du­ty to up­hold the rule of law," the state­ment said.
