The proceedings in the tax evasion case against Kaieteur News publisher Glenn Lall, his wife Bhena Lall and remigrant couple Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan have been adjourned until next year.
Magistrate Judy Latchman yesterday granted an adjournment after one of the attorneys representing the quartet announced that Narootandeo had undergone eye surgery. Counsel then requested the adjournment, to which the prosecution had no objections.
The magistrate subsequently set the next hearing for January 8, 2015, when the Brijnanans are expected to appear to plead to the charges levelled against them.
No reason was given for the man’s wife being absent at yesterday’s hearing.
