Police have confirmed that an immediate investigation has been launched into claims made by businessman Clint Arjoon, that private companies have secretly imported Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines into the country.

A statement from the TTPS said, however, that when contacted, the businessman who made the allegation during a television interview on Wednesday could not provide any shred of evidence, documentation, or witness, to verify that his statement had any merit.

Police say Mr. Arjoon also informed them that he passed on information to the Director of Foods and Drug Division.

However when the Director was contacted, he confirmed that it was solely hearsay statements, with the initial businessman, stating “that he heard so”.

A senior administrator in the said medical facility where the businessman claimed that the drug was received and being distributed, also had absolutely no knowledge of the matter.

“In summary, the statement made by the individual that made headline news, lacks merit, and is deemed to be false as there is absolutely nothing to substantiate his claim, which has been deemed baseless,” the TTPS said.

Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith says he welcomes any citizen to conduct their civic duty and bring forward information of any possible action to the relevant authorities for investigation so the relevant action can be taken.
