Hearing of legal challenge to ‘Pradoville 2’ charges underway

Justice Franklyn Holder on Friday began hearing legal arguments in the court action challenging the 19 ‘Pradoville 2’ charges laid against former PPP/C Minister of Housing, Mohamed Irfaan Ali.

Following an in-camera hearing, which lasted in excess of half of an hour, Ali’s attorney, Devindra Kissoon, declined to comment on what had transpired. He told reporters that the legal arguments will continue tomorrow and that he would speak to reporters then.

“We certainly don’t want to discuss the matter at this point but I will do so on Thursday…I will give you full clarity,” he said.
