Now FBI probing Vicky Boodram

The cruise ship company Carnival Corporation has contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in connection of fraud allegations against businesswoman Vicky Boodram-Arjoonsingh.

Reports say the the Miami-based cruise ship company Carnival Corporation has sued Boddram-Arjoonsingh and have contacted opolice in Trinidad and Tobago in connection with the matter.

The company claims that Boodram-Arjoonsingh's companies owe it $40 million for breach of contract and has asked for an expedited legal hearing.

Attorney for Carnival Corporation Jorge Mestre said his client is very particular about protecting its name. "Our brand is very important to us, hence the reason why we brought this lawsuit. The public was being misled and Carnival feels strongly that this must be prevented."

The Carnival Corporation filed its suit against the former broadcaster on January 24 in a Florida court, claiming that Boodram-Arjoonsingh presented two "fraudulent letters of credit for two different charters, that purported to guarantee a total of (US) $6.4 million for both".

It states further that Boodram "induced Carnival to enter into contracts under which Carnival would allow the Boodram defendants the use of its name and its ship, the Carnival Victory for April and August 2011 cruises."
