Nelson to ACIB: Ramlogan told me 'AG salary too small'

Lead Editor, Investigative Desk

Attorney Anand Ramlogan, SC, allegedly offered an apology to Vincent Nelson, KC, for "asking for a kickback," saying the money he was earning as attorney general at that time was "very small" and he needed to "supplement the salary to survive financially."

The conversation allegedly occurred during a car ride to Nelson's home in Jamaica. This revelation was in police statements that Nelson gave to officers of the Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau (ACIB) in January and February 2019 while in Barbados and in April and May 2019 while in Trinidad and Tobago.


These statements, exclusively obtained by the Sunday Guardian, were admitted into evidence in the Magistrate's Court and also disclosed to the defence team of Ramlogan and attorney Gerald Ramdeen, a former United National Congress senator, who had been accused of corruption in a legal fee kickback scheme. The attorneys had denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the charges against them before the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) discontinued the case against them recently. The DPP revealed that his decision was based on the refusal of Nelson, the State's main witness, to testify against the duo until the completion of a civil claim against the Office of the Attorney General (AG) for allegedly breaching an indemnity agreement he signed.

Nelson, in his statements, said between 2010 and 2015, he visited T&T for work on several occasions and had "many meetings" with Ramlogan but would not have recalled the precise contents of every meeting. He did say, however, that these meetings took place "in relation to the legal cases in which I had been instructed to act on behalf of GORTT." These meetings, he stated, "did not include any discussion in relation to kickbacks."

But Nelson said he recalled with clarity at least four other meetings.

According to a handwritten statement taken on April 30, 2019, and filed in the Port-of-Spain Magistrates' Court, Nelson gave intimate details of these meetings.

He said, "The first meeting was in October 2010. I do not recall the precise date. It was held in Ramlogan's office in the AG's Chambers in Port-of-Spain. He and I were the only two people present. During the meeting, he explained that he had conducted due diligence on me and wanted to instruct me to work on a number of GORTT investigations into state enterprises, to assess whether there had been corruption by the former PNM government, and to advise what action was to be taken. He also informed me that Gerald Ramdeen ('Ramdeen') would also be working on these investigations. I understood from him that the investigations had already started. I had never previously known, or heard o,f Ramdeen (although when we started working together, it became clear that he had known Ramlogan for a number of years)."


Nelson, in another statement taken on February 2, 2019, at the Hilton Hotel in Barbados, mentioned a meeting he had at Ramlogan's chambers at the Cabildo building, which housed the AG's office, and his insistence on being paid a ten per cent fee.

"He asked (name called) and (name called) to leave the room, leaving Ramdeen and myself together with him and at this point, he mentioned about the kickback and he stated that it is a condition that I pay back ten per cent of the fees to him and I told him that this is not something that we ought to be doing and his reaction was that is was a condition and he insisted."


Vincent Nelson

Salary too small

Apart from these meetings, Nelson mentioned in his notarised statement that Ramlogan again asked for a percentage of fees in November 2011 and outlined how the fees would be paid.

He also recalled another meeting in September 2012. This was in Kingston, Jamaica, and took place in Nelson's car on their way to his home.


"I was told by Ramlogan that he was attending a meeting of Caribbean Attorneys General and he requested that I invite him to dinner at my house in Jamaica. I did so. I arranged to collect him from, I believe, the Courtyard Hotel, in Kingston. When I arrived, Ramlogan was with a young female lawyer who was, as I understood it, working in the AG's Department. I do not recollect her name. Ramlogan travelled to my house in my car and the female lawyer travelled in his car with a driver. During the course of the journey, I recall that Ramlogan made a sort of apology for asking for a kickback, by saying words to the effect that his salary as Attorney General was very small compared to what he was previously earning as (sic) self-employed attorney and that he needed to supplement the salary to survive financially."

Nelson was also questioned by the ACIB about the following letter that he provided to the State as evidence that it was allegedly back-dated and sent by Ramlogan to him.

The letter read:

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

SENATOR THE HONOURABLE ANAND RAMLOGAN SC

16 November 2010

Mr Vincent Nelson QC

C/o Myers Fletcher Gordon

Park Place, East Street, Kingston

Jamaica

Dear Mr Nelson,

Re: Your Engagement

I write further to our meeting to confirm my interest in retaining you to provide legal advice to and representation for the State.

My colleagues in Jamaica and London have confirmed your credentials and your association with the reputable local chambers of Mr Gerald Ramdeen leaves me in no doubt that we can benefit from the wisdom of your Counsel.


As I informed you the aim is not only to obtain your litigation experience but also to assist in the training of lawyers in my Ministry and at the Bar generally in Trinidad and Tobago so that they will be in a position to undertake the legal work you will be undertaking on behalf of my Ministry.

Sincerely

Sgd

Anand Ramlogan SC

Attorney-at-Law”

This letter, according to Nelson's statement, was to support a claim of "fiction" that Nelson was renting chamber space from Ramdeen, which Nelson denied. He dismissed the arrangement as a "sham" in his statement against Ramlogan and Ramdeen.

In his statement to officers of the ACIB on April 30, 2019, Nelson indicated, "The Attorney General (Ramlogan) purported to give substance to this agreement by writing a letter to me...The letter purportedly signed by Anand Ramlogan dated 16.11.10 was sent to me electronically via text message. I cannot remember the name of the person who sent it on behalf of Mr Ramlogan. I recognise Mr Ramlogan's signature due to our business dealing."

Nelson's statement noted that in the letter, Ramlogan attached the designation of Senior Counsel (SC) at the end of the correspondence dated November 16, 2010. However, he (Ramlogan) had not become an SC until December 30, 2011.

Ramlogan pissed off, Ramdeen was my friend and I trusted him

In the statement that Nelson gave to ACIB officers in Barbados on February 2, 2019, he spoke about how Ramlogan became pissed off after he fell out with a particular King's Counsel with regard to monies to be paid to him (Ramlogan).

Nelson said in 2015, he had met with Ramdeen at the Hyatt hotel.

"I was asked by Ramdeen to repay him about fifteen thousand pounds, as he had done me a favour of paying my subscription renewal fees. He indicated that he needed the money because his fees were late from the AG's department, this led to him saying that Mr Ramlogan was pissed off that (King's Counsel name called) haven't paid what was to be paid to him (Mr Ramlogan). Mr Ramdeen told me that (King's Counsel name called) said that he had to sell a house first to be able to pay the monies."

Nelson said during the years 2010 to 2015, he developed a good working relationship and friendship with Ramdeen.

"We worked a lot and he became what I would consider my friend. We socialised together during this period and I trusted him–for example, I travelled with him for a weekend to Tobago and even stayed at his home."

Nelson, making reference to his notarised statement, said that a plan was concocted to draw up an agreement between himself and Ramdeen, for him allegedly using Ramdeen's chambers while in T&T. Nelson, however, told police he "visited Ramdeen's chambers on approximately five occasions and he did not rent any chambers."

'Chamber agreement' a 'sham'

Nelson also added in his statement that he located a document pursuant to the "chamber arrangement."

"The document was intended to show that I was employed by Ramdeen's chambers where he says he collected among other things chamber fees. The reason why the document is a sham it is dated 2010. Ramdeen was not in Cornelio Chambers in 2010. So he could not have signed the document for 2010 at Cornelio Street."

The wire-transfer payments, he indicated, were made to Ramdeen's Scotiabank account, which in turn would be handed over in cash to Ramlogan.

Nelson said since they were "still friends," in 2013 he sought Ramdeen's assistance in depositing £520,000 into his RBC account since he did not want his ex-wife to see the payment on his bank statement. He told police it had nothing to do with kickbacks but rather "a single payment of £520,000 which related to my finances."

He said, “Ramdeen volunteered to help me and suggested the transfer of funds to the RBC account through his own personal account, thereby allowing me to place the funds in the RBC account without revealing its existence. I agreed to do this. I transferred £520,000 to his account on 23, July 2013. When I made the transfer, I notified Ramdeen, as well as the Director of my investment account with RBC. Unfortunately, Ramdeen's bank refused to undertake the transaction and the £520,000 was returned to me in its entirety on 6 August 2013. My bank statements are available and clearly show the same reference number for both the payment out of my account and the payment back in."

Ramlogan and Ramdeen mum on allegations

Last Tuesday, Guardian Media reached out to Ramdeen by telephone to answer some further questions about the Nelson matter, as it related to the allegations made against him and Ramlogan in the criminal case that has now been dismissed.

Ramdeen said, "We are not making any further statements on the matter."

He was told some questions would be sent via WhatsApp should he reconsider, and he agreed. Questions were sent to Ramlogan via WhatsApp on Tuesday and Wednesday. Two ticks next to the message indicated it was delivered. Although Ramlogan was online on WhatsApp, he did not answer any of the questions.

Questions to Ramlogan:

1. Why have you not sought to intervene in the Nelson civil case in order to clear your name?

2. Mr Nelson in his civil proceedings made damning allegations of crimes allegedly committed by you. Are you concerned that you may be disbarred as the procedure could lead to this as indicated in Sec 37(2) of the Legal Profession Act?

3. Nelson, in his notarised statements to officers of the ACIB, alleged that you committed crimes? Is this true?

4. Allegations made against you by Mr Nelson included receiving monies for kickbacks by way of wire transfer through Mr Ramdeen and then being given to you in cash. Nelson in his statement to the ACIB also recalled several meetings you had. He recalled a conversation with you at his home in Jamaica in September 2012, and he said, quote, "I recall that Ramlogan made a sort of apology for asking for a kickback, by saying words to the effect that his salary as Attorney General was very small compared to what he was previously earning as a self-employed attorney and that he needed to supplement the salary to survive financially." Is this true?

5. In the statement made to Sen Supt Nurse at the Hilton Hotel in Barbados Mr Nelson also spoke about a meeting with you, Mr Ramdeen, (local attorney name called) and (King's Counsel name called) in regard to probes regarding former PNM government officials first at a committee room in Parliament. Nelson said (King's Counsel name called) and (local attorney name called) were later asked to leave and Mr Ramdeen stayed. Nelson stated, quote, "At this point, he (Ramlogan) mentioned about the kickback and he stated that it is a condition that I pay back ten per cent fees to him and I told him that this is not something that we ought to be doing and his reaction was that it was a condition and he insisted. I then asked him how it is to be done and he responded as set out in my second statement paragraph twelve." Is this a true account of what transpired at that meeting?

6. In his statement Nelson alleged that you sent a letter to him on November 16, 2010. The notarised statement alleged that the aim of the letter was to say that Nelson was renting chamber space from Ramdeen. Nelson alleged that you issued this letter and sent it to him to be evidence of the chamber arrangement except that you backdated it and forgot you had not become SC until December 30, 2011.

Can you also clarify this, and did you backdate the letter as claimed and signed it Anand Ramlogan, SC even before you were made an SC?

7. Are you concerned that Mr Nelson has never withdrawn his evidence accusing you of criminal conduct?

Calls were made to Ramlogan twice last week and again yesterday but he did not respond.

Questions sent to Ramdeen:

1. Why have you not sought to intervene in the Nelson civil case in order to clear your name?

2. Mr Nelson in his civil proceedings made damning allegations of crimes allegedly committed by you. Are you concerned that you may be disbarred as the procedure could lead to this as indicated in Sec 37(2) of the Legal Profession Act?

3. Nelson in his notarised statements to officers of the ACIB alleged that you committed crimes? Is this true?

4. Allegations made against you by Mr Nelson included receiving monies for kickbacks by way of a wire transfer to your Scotiabank account. Is this true? He also stated that you all became good friends between 2010-2015, and he even spent time at your home in Tobago. Is this correct? He said he even sought your assistance in depositing £520,000 into your RBC account since he did not want his ex-wife to see the payment on his bank statement. Is that true? He said the money was transferred to your RBC account but later returned by the bank. Is that also true?

In his statement to the police he later indicated and I quote, "I have referred to my statement a £520,000 transaction since Barbados. I have located a document which was used by Ramdeen in this transaction. It is a copy, the original copy cannot be found. The document was intended to show I was employed by Ramdeen chambers where he collected say among other things chamber fees. The reason why the document is a sham it's dated 2010. Ramdeen was not in Cornelio Chamber in 2010." Is this allegation true?

5. Are you concerned that Mr Nelson has never withdrawn his evidence accusing you of criminal conduct?

Attempt #3... pnm trying this time in civil court

State goes after Ramlogan, Ramdeen over legal fees: GOVT WANTS EX-AG’S SALARY

The State has filed civil proceedings arising from the collapse of the criminal case against former attorney general Anand Ramlogan, SC, and attorney Gerald Ramdeen.

The claim comes more than a year after Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC, made the shocking announcement of his decision to discontinue the case against the two because the State’s star witness, Vincent Nelson, KC, refused to testify against them until the end of his civil case over an alleged breach of an indemnity agreement with the government.

The claim was filed on Thursday and was also served on the two.

In its civil claim, the State is demanding reimbursement or forfeiture of all or part of the fees the two received.

In Ramlogan’s case, all or part of the remuneration he received as attorney general under the People’s Partnership government. The State also wants £200,367 returned.

The claim alleges breach of fiduciary or equivalent duty. It also seeks an account of profits, equitable compensation and damages. The two are asked to deliver any documentation set out in the claim’s statement of case. The claim further alleged bribery, unlawful means conspiracy and dishonest assistance.

Filing the claim against the two former UNC politicians was attorney Tenille Ramkissoon, head of the Attorney General’s secretariat.

This action also came a year after Attorney General Reginald Armour promised to pursue legal action against the two when the kickback conspiracy case against them collapsed because of Nelson’s unwillingness to testify.

Nelson was convicted on June 4, 2019, sentenced on March 2, 2020, and ordered to pay $2.25 million in fines, which he wants the State to pay.

The State has filed a counterclaim against Nelson for every cent paid to him.

In response to Nelson’s $96 million claim for compensation for an alleged breach of an indemnity agreement to protect him from prosecution, the State fired its salvo in the counterclaim.

The counterclaim, filed along with a re-amended defence on November 7, 2022, alleged Nelson received the money as a result of “unlawful and unjust enrichment” at the expense of the people of TT.

In its counterclaim, the State contends any income Nelson earned since his corrupt agreement to pay kickbacks to Ramlogan or could have earned since then would be premised on his continued dishonest and corrupt failure to disclose that he had “corruptly agreed to pay the said kickback to Ramlogan.”

On October 10, 2022, DPP Roger Gaspard said he had decided to discontinue the case against Ramlogan and Ramdeen.

In an immediate response, Armour described the development as “stunning” and assured he would seek redress.

Armour said, “As Attorney General, I wish to assure the people of this country that I will consider every available avenue to protect the public’s interests, including (but not limited to) civil proceedings to recover any possible proceeds of the crimes allegedly committed by Messrs Ramlogan and Ramdeen and disciplinary proceedings before the Disciplinary Committee of the legal profession.”

Ramdeen and Ramlogan were charged in 2019 with conspiring with Nelson for Ramlogan to misbehave in public office as AG by accepting money from Nelson as a reward for giving him state briefs.

Nelson is seeking damages for breach of indemnity between himself and former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi. Nelson claimed the indemnity was promised to him.

He has also appealed his conviction and sentence.

When the criminal case against Ramdeen and Ramlogan collapsed in the magistrates’ court, Armour said, “The discontinuance of the criminal charges against Messrs Ramlogan and Ramdeen by the Director of Public Prosecutions has understandably come as a stunning development and surprise, more so as the Director’s decision is said to be predicated upon an indication by the State witness Vincent Nelson that he does not intend to give evidence pending the determination of civil proceedings he brought in the High Court against the State of TT.

“In those proceedings, he is claiming, among other things, that the State should indemnify him for the fine of $2.25 million he was ordered by the High Court to pay when he pleaded guilty to charges brought against him for conspiring with Messrs Ramlogan and Ramdeen to pay bribes to Mr Ramlogan.

“The discontinuance is also surprising having regard to the fact that Nelson entered into a plea agreement with the DPP to give evidence against Ramlogan and Ramdeen in exchange for a recommendation by the Director to the High Court that Nelson be given a non-custodial sentence. Mr Nelson has not, to date, recanted any admission of wrongdoing he made in the criminal proceedings.”

He added, “As Attorney General, I wish to assure the people of this country that I will consider every available avenue to protect the public’s interests, including (but not limited to) civil proceedings to recover any possible proceeds of the crimes allegedly committed by Messrs Ramlogan and Ramdeen and disciplinary proceedings before the Disciplinary Committee of the legal profession.

“Having obtained a fuller account of the Director’s decision to discontinue these criminal proceedings, I will be taking the advice of eminent local and foreign Senior and King’s Counsel to ensure that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of justice for the people of TT.”
