NATIONAL SECURITY MINISTER MARVIN DAMES
NASSAU, Bahamas — National Security Minister Marvin Dames told reporters yesterday the Federal Bureau of Investigation is expected to fully brief Police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson this week on the findings of its two-year undercover investigation into an alleged visa fraud at its Nassau Embassy.
He said local law enforcement will then make a determination on whether any Bahamian laws were broken, and take the necessary measures.
“We have had some initial discussions with the US,” Mr Dames said before heading into a Cabinet meeting. “The FBI is now working in consultation with the Royal Bahamas Police Force, who will receive a further briefing on the information they (the FBI) may have at their disposal, and we will determine from that information whether any laws in the Bahamas have been broken.”
As things stand, Mr Dames said the government has no evidence at this time to support bribery claims made against senior immigration officials in an FBI agent’s affidavit on the alleged local US visa scam. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/nov/14/fbi-briefing-over-visa-fraud-sting/
