Gunny Money Business At GSU
posted (July 21, 2017)
Police have launched an investigation to find out where sixty thousand dollars went - that was supposed to be used to GSU informants. These monies are in what's called an "intelligence gathering fund" and would be paid to persons who provide information to the GSU. When the intelligence officer gets the money, he would usually sign for it - thus proving some accountability. But it seems that was missing with thousands earmarked for the GSU in the past year. On June 7th, the CEO in the Ministry of Home Affairs wrote to Special Branch and the GSU expressed concerns about the use of the fund.

We understand that the case of unaccounted for sums is being investigated by the Professional Standards Branch and the Financial Intelligence Unit.

Police Minister of State Elodio Aragon could not be reached for comment.
