The Grenada government has called for an investigation into a land deal struck by the former PM Keith Mitchell administration and involving Formula One racing star Lewis Hamilton.
Prime Minister Tillman Thomas says his administration will ask the Advisory Committee to look into the sale of State lands currently occupied by the Grenada Grand Beach Resort. A red flag was raised when it was discovered that no money for the transaction, ended up in the treasury. The deal, according to Advisory Committee member Lloyd Noel, called for a group involving Hamilton to take possession of the 20-acre property in exchange for the use of Hamilton's name and photographs in Grenada for tourism promotions over the next four years. However despite this justification the PM still feels the deal was not legitimate, hence the questions.
