City Magistrate Fabayo Azore yesterday postponed the commencement of the trial of former Attorney-General Anil Nandlall on a charge of fraudulently converting over $2 million in law reports which were the property of the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
The postponement came after much pleading by attorneys for Nandlall.
Magistrate Azore, during the last court hearing, had set yesterday’s date for the commencement of the trial. The charge states that Nandlall between May 8, 2015 and May 29, 2015, at Georgetown, being a bailee and Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs and having 14 law reports, valued at $2,313,853 and property of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, fraudulently took or converted the reports to his own use and benefit.
