Investigators visit Solicitor General's office to seize computers
Investigators from the Cybercrime Unit of the Organised Crime Investigation Division (OCID) went to the office of Douglas Leys, Solicitor General, Thursday afternoon, in a bid to seize his computers.
This reportedly led to a standoff, as the cops were not invited by the Solicitor General or his representatives.
Mr Leys is now in Washington, DC, and members of his staff reportedly told the five police officers that they had no authorisation from their boss for the computers to be turned over to them.
RJR sources report that after a five-minute stand-off, the cops left without the computers.
Earlier Thursday, Attorney Oliver Smith, who is representing Mr Leys at the Manatt/Dudus Enquiry, said his client was willing to give the Commission access to his email address and computers, following a dispute over the origin of a controversial email submitted to the Commission.
Attorney General, Dorothy Lightbourne, insisted that she was not the author of the email, and indicated that it may be fraudulent.
