Sanasie’s perjury case adjourned to September 28 for report

The perjury charge against  Anand Sanasie in his capacity as Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has been adjourned to September 28 for report.

Meanwhile, the prosecution has indicated to the court that it is in possession of its file on the matter.

On July 10, Sanasie,  46,  of Area ‘G’ Patentia, West Bank Demerara,  was charged with perjury and placed on $150,000 bail when he made his appearance before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

The allegation against Sanasie is that on January 30 at Georgetown, being the deponent in an affidavit for an interim and amendatory injunction for damages and an order in the High Court of the Supreme Court of Judicature, in which the said Anand Sanasie is the petitioner and the Attorney General of Guyana, Clive Lloyd and Alfred King are the defendants, he knowingly, falsely swore that the assets of the Guyana Cricket Board were in his trust, well knowing the said transfer to the DEB Essential Organisation Incorporated.

The accused has since not been required to plead to the indictable charge.

He has since approached the high court challenging the institution of the charges.
