Canadian resident Gene Dziadyk, a former CLICO CEO, knows a thing about Trinidad and Tobago’s seedy criminal underworld after moving to the two-island republic in 2001. But the merciless bandits that scare him most don’t live in “hot spot” areas.
“Some people say Trinidad is a lawless country (with) crime in the streets,” Dziadyk told the Trinidad Express, “but I have never been robbed in the streets, but by the governing elites…”
Dziadyk claimed that he attempted a paradigm shift to save CLICO. He was fired, as CEO, within six months.

The white collar criminal replied: “I does confess my sins, not my business.”
