Could there be a criminal charge in the RIU saga?

Dear Editor,
This matter with RIU really has my attention. Of particular interest is the grey cloud looming over the approvals process at the St James Parish Council. The issue is a simple one; was the approval given for three floors or four floors?
The answer, however, is not so simple. One side is saying three floors while the other side is saying four floors.
On the one hand, the mayor of Montego Bay and the head of NEPA are stating categorically that they saw and gave approval for drawings with three-storey buildings only.
They offer as proof the building permit and the environmental permit which state three floors.
On the other hand, RIU personnel seem to be arguing that they presented and received approval for drawings with four-storey buildings, and that they have the documentation to support this.
There is an underlying current which hints at possibility of the drawings being switched.
It could reasonably be concluded that a drawing with three- storey buildings was approved in mid-2007, and then replaced, just weeks ago, with drawings for four-storey buildings, purportedly bearing the Council's stamp of approval.
Were such an offence ever to be discovered, then the guilty parties would not only have a lot of explaining to do (to quote the mayor), but they ought also to be put in prison, regardless of their spoken language.
The government should call in the police to investigate this immediately since no one should be above the law in Jamaica.
