Faris Al-Rawi Denies Child Operated Vessel, Reveals Death Threats Against Teenager and Family Members November 14, 2026 | TG News Attorney Faris Al-Rawi has publicly rejected several allegations circulating on social media concerning the vessel linked to the deadly boating collision off Chaguaramas, including claims that a 12- or 13-year-old boy was operating the vessel at the time of the incident. In a video statement, Al-Rawi firmly denied the allegation involving the minor, describing it as absolutely untrue. His comments come amid intense public scrutiny of the collision and growing speculation surrounding the persons associated with the vessel. Death Threats Against Teenager and Family Perhaps the most troubling revelation from Al-Rawi's statement was his disclosure that death threats have reportedly been directed towards a teenager, family members and other individuals. The attorney raised concerns about the consequences of unverified information spreading online, particularly when allegations involve minors. His remarks highlight how public speculation surrounding a tragedy can have serious consequences for individuals who have not been charged with or found responsible for wrongdoing. Vessel Remains Available for Police Inspection Al-Rawi also addressed claims that the vessel had returned or that individuals connected to the incident had fled the country. He rejected those allegations, maintaining that the vessel remains at a location he identified as Stubel State and is fully available for inspection by law enforcement authorities. According to the attorney, debris from other vessels remains inside its hull, indicating that material potentially relevant to the investigation has not been removed. He maintained that law enforcement continues to have access to the vessel. Public Questions Remain The statement comes as families and members of the public continue seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision. While Al-Rawi has rejected specific allegations, his statement does not independently establish who was operating the vessel at the time of the collision or resolve questions of responsibility. Those matters remain for investigators to determine based on the available evidence. The attorney did not provide further details about the reported death threats or indicate whether formal complaints had been made to police. The allegations of threats have not been independently verified by TG News. As public attention remains focused on the tragedy, Al-Rawi's intervention raises two important issues: the need for a thorough and transparent investigation into the collision and the dangers of circulating unverified accusations, particularly those involving children. For the families affected by the tragedy, the central demand remains the same: answers, accountability and justice based on facts rather than speculation. TG News will continue monitoring developments surrounding the investigation.
