Senior Counsel Israel Rajah-Khan has written the head of the Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau (ACIB) calling for the Police Service not to allow itself to be "used and manipulated as a pawn" by those with "sinister political objectives and ends in mind".

Rajah-Khan wrote the letter on behalf of his client former housing minister Dr Roodal Moonilal to acting Superintendent of the ACIB Yussef Alexander on Thursday.

"I write to raise a grave complaint about the manner in which alleged police work has recently been featuring in the public domain through the lips and actions of certain key political figures," Rajah-Khan wrote.

He had twice previously written to acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams to formally lodge a complaint against what he said "is believed to be a political conspiracy" meant to undermine Moonilal's "integrity and reputation".

According to Rajah-Khan's letter on September 1, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley stated that he knew that complaints of criminal wrong doing were made to the police about Moonilal.

And on October 12, during her contribution to the Budget debate, Minister of Planning and Development Camille Robinson-Regis read out what she said was a search warrant which bore Moonilal's name.

Moonilal has since filed a "strenuous complaint" with the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) about this.

Moonilal claimed he was the victim of "utterly fake, fabricated and erroneous" messages included in a court document.

"The said messages appear to be a cut and paste job which attempts to link unconnected bits of exchanges to mischievously present a conspiracy".

In addition to that, he claimed that Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi had "deliberately and wilfully supplied incorrect and erroneous information to the police upon which to maliciously procure a search warrant" against him.
