Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus and his wife, Adonika Aulder on Friday withdrew and discontinued a High Court action filed on August 19, against the Head of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), the Commissioner of Police, and the Attorney General, a release from the Attorney General’s Chambers stated yesterday.
The release explained that in these proceedings, Brutus and his wife sought a number of Orders, including an Order to set aside or recall the Order of Court, earlier granted, freezing their bank accounts. The Application to withdraw and discontinue the proceedings was made orally when the matter was called on Friday by the attorney appearing for Brutus and his wife.
This is the second set of proceedings filed and later withdrawn by Brutus and his wife.
According to the release, another High Court proceeding which was filed seeking permission for these two persons to leave the jurisdiction, allegedly for medical attention for Aulder was heard by Justice Gino Persaud, who, after hearing arguments from lawyers appearing for the Attorney General’s Chambers, dismissed the Application and ordered the Applicants to pay $250,000 each to the Respondents, namely, the Attorney General, Commissioner of Police and SOCU within six weeks from the date of the Order.
To date, these costs have not been paid, with the release noting that upon the expiration of the six weeks, should these costs remain unpaid, the requisite legal steps will be taken to recover the same.
