The Comptroller of Customs has written to the police asking them to investigate the issue \u2014 to investigate not only the undermining of the process in which they literally robbed customs of a few million dollars, but also to look at the issue of the superimposition of the Prime Minister\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<h2>PM\u2019s theory on how his signature was forged<\/h2>\n<p>Prime Minister Browne explained how he believed his signature was forged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, what would have happened, whenever someone gets a duty-free, let\u2019s say on a motor vehicle, I will sign the warrant authorizing it. And what seems to have happened in a few cases is that a few brokers \u2014 who are not necessarily involved in this Nigel Christian shooting \u2014 these are not brokers who are involved in the big case as we know it with one broker who may have robbed the revenue of about $3 million; these are some smaller brokers who are hustling and what they did they seems to have copied the signature on one of the warrants and superimposed it on another,\u201d the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for some reason, people are trying to make a direct connection as though the signature has something to do with the murder. Why you all would come to that conclusion? And we do not even know that even the particular broker who would have robbed the revenue of about $3 million by manipulating the system, that he\u2019s involved in the murder either. We have to allow law enforcement to do their work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I do not know \u2014 based on the fact that progress is being made by the police as well as the FBI \u2014 I don\u2019t know that there\u2019s any need for any so-called independent investigation at this time. Allow law enforcement to do their work,\u201d Browne added.<\/p>\n<h2>PM rejects call for Raju Boddu\u2019s dismissal<\/h2>\n<p>The Prime Minister also dismissed a suggestion by the caller that the Comptroller of Customs, Raju Boddu, should be asked to resign or fired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suggestion that the Comptroller of Customs should resign, that is utter nonsense,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Comptroller, not even the customs officers were aware of the glitch that existed within the\u00a0ASYCUDA\u00a0system. They didn\u2019t design it, they didn\u2019t design it with the glitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt so happens that the way in which the software is designed, the customs brokers who are licensed they have the opportunity to key into the system electronically and to input their information, and by so doing, they were able to manipulate a glitch in the system to the extent \u2014 at least in the case of one broker \u2014 he robbed customs of over $3 million and the matter is being investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_bottom td_uid_8_5f5e04e2551fc_rand td_block_template_1\">\n<div id=\"antig-1292265977\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-3763281477\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Gaston Browne seems to have had just about enough of people suggesting that there might be a link between the forging of his signature and the brutal murder of Customs Inspector Nigel Christian.
