“The driver did it” says Reeko Moosa
02 Mar 2010, 8:16 PM
MP for Hulhu-Henveiru and MDP parliamentary group leader ‘Reeko’ Moosa Manik has claimed his driver was bribed to put “cheap alcohol” into his car in an attempt to frame him for the crime.
Last week police arrested four expatriate men loading 168 bottles of whiskey and menthol gin into a car registered to Moosa, on the same day controversial liquor licensing regulations were unveiled by the Ministry of Economic Development.
“My car is not a pickup or a truck,” Moosa said. “Claiming it can fit 168 bottles is unacceptable.”
Moosa was in Singapore when the police arrested the four suspects, including Moosa’s driver.
