PM Gonsalves’ wife, children’s properties being investigated in Trinidad

An investigation has been initiated in Trinidad and Tobago concerning the acquisition of two properties and the rental of another by Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves’ wife, Eloise Gonsalves, and their adult children, Storm and Soleil Gonsalves. The properties were obtained through the state-owned Housing Development Corporation (HDC), with Gonsalves asserting that all procedures were followed without any special favors or preferential treatment. He has referred the matter to a senior counsel in Trinidad and Tobago for further review.
