The Guyana Police Force (GPF) Detective Sergeant Dion Bascom, who went public accusing the force of corruption, bribery and ‘covering-up’ the murder of Ricardo Fagundes, is expected to be charged today with offences under the country’s cyber-crime laws.
A source told Stabroek News Bascom is expected to appear in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he is expected to be charged with using a computer system to transmit electronic data with intent to humiliate, harass, or cause distress to officers within the GPF contrary to Section 19 (5) (a) of the Cyber Crime Act.
Stabroek News previously reported that the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had advised the GPF to institute criminal charges against Bascom.
