The charges against Simona Broomes, a former APNU+AFC government minister, and her driver, Dexter Austin stemming from a confrontation they had with a councillor attached to the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), have been dismissed.
When the duo appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday for the continuation of the case, Magistrate Dylon Bess informed them that the charges will be dismissed due to the negligence of the Court Prosecutor. He further explained that it has been eight months since the charges were read to the defendants and the file was still incomplete, hence no progress had been made in the case.
