The $10 million fraud charge that was instituted against retired and serving senior police officers in May 2021 was yesterday dismissed by Magistrate Rhondel Weever for lack of evidence, according to one of the defence lawyers. The charges of conspiracy to defraud the Guyana Police Force (GPF) of over $10 million against the nine former and serving officers stemmed from a paid review of the force’s Standing Orders.
Those charged were retired Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Paul Slowe, former Police Finance Officer Woman Senior Superintendent Marcelene Washington, retired ACP Clinton Conway, retired ACP Claude Whittaker, retired Senior Superintendent (SS) George Fraser, retired SS Michael Sutton, retired Superintendent Mark Gilbert, ACP Royston Andries-Junor, and Assistant Superintendent Marlon Kellman.
