bank accounts with $500M frozen
By Shuntel Glasgow
Justice Gino Persaud yesterday refused an application by embattled Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus and his pregnant wife Adonika Aulder, made by their Attorney Earl Daniels for Brutus to accompany Aulder to the US for medical attention in view of revelations that there are 240 charges pending against him for money laundering and other serious financial crimes.
Among the disclosures, in an affidavit in response to Brutus’s application, was that the State through a High Court order had frozen some nine accounts held at Republic Bank, Demerara Bank and the New Building Society in the names of Brutus, his wife and their minor son Combined, those accounts hold $500 million accumulated over a period of one year.
