Grenada opposition party accuses government of spying

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) - Grenada's main opposition party accused the government Monday of spying on its legislators and threatened to sue a Cabinet member for linking an opposition official to a US fraud case.

Senator Arly Gill said several parliamentarians from his opposition National Democratic Congress have reported being followed and photographed by police, allegedly on orders from the governing New National Party.

He also accused the government of investigating opposition legislators' bank accounts but didn't offer any evidence.
"We are aware that they are investigating our bank accounts, and officers...of the police force are following our senior executive members and are photographing them when they are at social settings," Gill said.

The New National Party denied knowledge of the claims.
"The New National Party is totally unaware as to the claims that Senator Arly Gill is making," said Terrence Forrester, a governing party official. "Naturally, if he has evidence that can support the claims that he is making certainly we would like for him to bring them forward."

Special Branch police head, Assistant Superintendent Anthony DeGale, also denied knowledge of the accusations.
