Mohamed seeking over $200 Million from Detective Bascom over “defamatory” statements

Businessman Azruddin Mohamed has filed a $200 million lawsuit against Police Detective, Sergeant Dion Bascom over offending statements made by the Policeman in Facebook posts that allegedly linked the well-known businessman to a cover-up of the murder of biker, Ricardo Fagundes.

Sergeant Bascom has 28 days to respond to the lawsuit.

The businessman is claiming the damages for defamation of his character since according to him, the statements made by the Police Officer were malicious and false.

He is also seeking an injunction from the Court barring the Police Sergeant from repeating or making similar statements.

The businessman in his lawsuit said he is a well known philanthropist with no criminal record who is also involved in international business.

He also noted that he is a devout muslim who upholds the tenets of islam including honesty and discipline. The businessman said the public broadcast via social media by the Policeman has damaged his reputation and his good standing in the public.

Two weeks ago, the businessman threatened legal action after the Police accused him of being involved in the alleged cover-up of the murder of the popular biker outside Palm Court. The Police officer had also named a security agent of the businessman as well as a senior Police investigator of also being involved in the alleged cover-up.

Despite the earlier threat of legal action, the Policeman maintained his story and said he will defend it in Court of law or before a Commission of Inquiry.

His public statements of a cover-up in the Police investigation of the murder has resulted in the Government calling in the Regional Security Service to review the murder investigation and offer possible assistance.
