PORT OF SPAIN – Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Roger Gaspard on Tuesday said he never instructed the police to clear former FIFA vice-president Austin “Jack” Warner of bribery allegations, purported to have taken place here last year during the campaign for the FIFA presidential election.
Gaspard told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) he had informed the police that based on the “threadbare information and material” submitted to him, he could not determine that any law had been broken.

“However, I am also of the view that further investigations may be warranted pursuant to the Customs Act [that deals with the non-declaration of a significant amount of money into the country],” Gaspard said in the written memo to the investigating police officer.
