Allen submitted that Nelson, since October 2017, has been fully cooperating with the prosecution at an “unprecedented level” and has given several witness statements knowing fully well he has incriminated himself, despite risks to himself.

Allen said Nelson was the key prosecution witness and was “safer out of this jurisdiction.”

His lawyers, British QC Tom Allen and Keith Scotland, asked that no conditions be attached to the bail to allow Nelson the freedom to leave TT since, Allen said, he would be safer abroad.


His singing ...hope he has a safe sanctuary

Jamaica or T&T will not be a safe Haven for rats.

 
Headley 2019-05-04 01:50:56 

In reply to sgtdjones

Abercromby Street Sarge, why yuh calling Mr. Nelson a rat.

The QC has seen the error of his ways. He was lead astray by defalcators too persuasive to be ignored. He is now compelled by a sense of duty and morality to speak the truth. That is reason to hold the QC in high esteem.

I must remind you the first word of the T&T national anthem is 'forged'. big grin

Ironically Dana Seetahal used to work for the state at minimum rates, as a prosecutor and lost her life as a result, while some men were focused on robbing the public purse.

$3m bail for Ramlogan, Ramdeen

For­mer at­tor­ney gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan and his col­league, Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress Sen­a­tor Ger­ald Ramdeen, were col­lec­tive­ly grant­ed close to $3 mil­lion in bail Fri­day night, af­ter be­ing charged with sim­i­lar con­spir­a­cy of­fences re­lat­ed to an al­leged le­gal fees kick­back scheme.

Ram­lo­gan was grant­ed bail to cov­er three charges in the sum of $1.2 mil­lion ac­cord­ing to his at­tor­ney Pamela El­der SC. Ramdeen was al­so grant­ed bail in the sum of $1.5 mil­lion.

"My client was sub­ject­ed to a very long in­ter­view, it has end­ed with him be­ing charged with three of­fences. What I find in­ter­est­ing is that all these of­fences are what we call in­choate of­fences, they are the on­ly con­spir­a­cies. There is noth­ing here in these charges that my client re­ceived any mon­ey. No mon­ey has been stat­ed here," El­der told Guardian Me­dia.

She con­tin­ued: "It is on­ly a con­spir­a­cy and there is noth­ing in any of these charges with re­spect of any monies that were paid to Anand Ram­lo­gan, re­ceived by Anand Ram­lo­gan or trans­ferred by Anand Ram­lo­gan. In essence, it states that for five years he con­spired to re­ceive mon­ey but nev­er re­ceived a cent."

Cops raid 7 Gulf View mansions but find nothing

Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions Re­sponse Team (SORT) po­lice of­fi­cers raid­ed sev­en man­sions in the posh res­i­den­tial com­mu­ni­ty of Gulf View, La Ro­maine, yes­ter­day, break­ing down doors and pre­vent­ing home­own­ers from en­ter­ing their premis­es.

The raids prompt­ed cries of po­lit­i­cal vic­tim­i­sa­tion, racial dis­crim­i­na­tion and vic­tim­i­sa­tion by home­own­ers who called on Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith to is­sue a state­ment.

How­ev­er, se­nior sources said one man who was hid­ing on one of the prop­er­ties dur­ing the raids was ar­rest­ed.

The first raid took place at 5.50 am at the Pen­ny Av­enue home of Si­mone Alexan­der, the own­er of Al­lied Home In­dus­tries Lim­it­ed. Af­ter two hours of­fi­cers left emp­ty-hand­ed, but they con­tin­ued raids in town­hous­es and man­sions be­long­ing to oth­er busi­ness own­ers, in­clud­ing SM Jaleel and Com­pa­ny CEO Aleem Mo­hammed.

Now this is just a circular reference...the "talk" proves itself through a coincidence.

With both the talk and coincidence having the same perpetrators.

Come nah man....

When the breaking down and 'kicking in the back door' of poor black people in Laventy, Beetham and behind the bridge for nothing the Indian racists in this country smile, rejoice and enjoy the spectacle. Now it has reached home by u all u saying the "monkey Goverrnment wicked". Which monkey ? Your Hanuman God ? Allyuh too greedy and cravenous. White collar crime destroying our country. I am rejoicing. Great is the PNM.

PurpleCoffee344

Blatant corruption and now terrorism from the racist criminal goons in the PNM. Of course, the monkey task force didn't find anything; there's nothing to find. You want to find criminals, start looking in PNM stronghold areas where the majority of violent crime occurs; the shitholes of Diego Martin, Port-of-Spain and Laventille... but of course the PNM will stay for from there since they are working WITH those criminals, giving them government contracts.
East Indians believe in progress, education, business, investments. That is why they are rich. Ambitious Africans will dump Rowley and the PNM like never was before. Anyone voting PNM at the next elections is a person who has no brains after what is happening in this country.

Like I said Ramlogan an Ramdeen gonna come out smelling like roses,because dem cops and dem do things on hearsay and rumours.D TT tax payers will foot d bill for dey chupidness.

‘Only conspiracy charges, nothing about payments’

THE corruption charges laid against former attorney general Anand Ramlogan SC by Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau (ACIB) officers on Friday night are only “conspiracies”, his attorney, Senior Counsel Pamela Elder, has said.

Elder said nowhere in the charges did it indicate that her client had ever received money from any individual as rewards or gifts in exchange for him granting State briefs to British Queen’s Counsel Vincent Nelson as was being alleged.

Lawyers seek speedy hearing of charges

For­mer at­tor­ney gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan, SC, and UNC Sen­a­tor Ger­ald Ramdeen have asked the Of­fice of the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) to ex­pe­dite their case over a State le­gal fees kick­back scam.

Se­nior Coun­sel Pamela El­der, who is lead­ing Ram­lo­gan’s le­gal team, made the call on Mon­day, short­ly af­ter the duo made their first court ap­pear­ance in the Port-of-Spain Mag­is­trates’ Court since be­ing charged with three con­spir­a­cy of­fences last Fri­day.

El­der said the quick pros­e­cu­tion of the case would en­sure that she is able to cross-ex­am­ine the State’s co­op­er­at­ing con­spir­a­tor British Queen’s Coun­sel Vin­cent Nel­son.

Nel­son, who has signed a plea agree­ment with the DPP’s Of­fice, has been re­leased on bail al­lowed to leave the coun­try to seek treat­ment for his prostate can­cer.

El­der said: “I would be ex­treme­ly grate­ful if we could pro­ceed with this mat­ter as quick­ly as pos­si­ble. In the event that he (Nel­son) suc­cumbs to his ill­ness and goes off in­to the here­after, at least we could take his ev­i­dence as ear­li­er as pos­si­ble.”

El­der’s re­quest was ac­cept­ed by DPP Roger Gas­pard, SC, who rep­re­sent­ed his of­fice at the hear­ing.
