The file on the in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the in­ci­dent that led to ju­nior Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Collin Par­tap be­ing fired will be sub­mit­ted to the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) by the end of this week. The as­sur­ance came from pub­lic in­for­ma­tion of­fi­cer sgt Wayne Mys­tar dur­ing yes­ter­day's week­ly me­dia brief­ing at the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Port-of-Spain.

Ques­tioned yes­ter­day, Mys­tar con­firmed he had re­ceived an up­date from the act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Stephen Williams. He added: "We are await­ing one more im­por­tant doc­u­ment be­fore sub­mit­ting the file but it will be done be­fore the end or by the end of this week."

Williams had pre­vi­ous­ly named Oc­to­ber 15 as the date when the file would be sub­mit­ted to DPP Roger Gas­pard. Par­tap was fired by the prime min­is­ter on Au­gust 25, less than a day af­ter he was tak­en to the Bel­mont Po­lice Sta­tion for a breathal­yser test when po­lice stopped his car af­ter he left a Port-of-Spain night­club.
