A city magistrate yesterday struck out charges brought by police against four owners of Superbet betting shops, who were to be charged with operating without licences.
Senior Magistrate Leron Daly did not entertain the charges, which police initially brought last week Friday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, after police could not satisfy her of their authority to prosecute the matters instead of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Magistrate Daly previously requested that the police confirm that they were authorised to prosecute the cases.
