“That matter is still with the F.I.U. They are the ones who have control of that investigation. Yes the police are a part of it and we are awaiting the guidance from them in terms of what has been done. We know that certain applications were to be made to the court or through the Director of F.I.U. for us to be able to have access to bank accounts and other financial information so I believe that there is where the investigation currently is.”
