2003 remigration scam trial still not finished

Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton last week adjourned the trial relating to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2003 remigration scam owing to problems with the witnesses.

Perdessa Dundas who was slapped with 54 charges of forgery and corrupt transactions by an agent for her alleged involvement in the scam was present in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

Lawyers for Dundas did not turn up until about twenty minutes after the scheduled time and the magistrate then announced August 4 as the new date for the continuation of the matter. Attorney-at-law Candace Raphael from the chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is prosecuting the case.
