Former finance minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira
Former finance minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira’s move in 2009 to withdraw her monies from the now defunct CLICO Investment Bank (CIB), which was a subsidiary of the collapsed CL Financial conglomerate, is now before the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for investigation, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has announced.
There were allegations of a conflict of interest concern since Nunez-Tesheira had presided over the CLICO/CL Financial bailout although she held interests in that company.
In addition there were also more allegations that she had inside information and withdrew her money before the collapse of the company.
