The ruling on the prosecution’s application for access to the bank records of former Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus has been postponed to tomorrow.
The decision was initially scheduled for yesterday but the court did not provide a reason for the delay.
Prosecutors filed the application in January under Section 12 of the Evidence Act, seeking financial records from Brutus’ Demerara Bank Limited account. The former senior officer faces more than 250 criminal charges related to alleged financial crimes.
During a January hearing, Prosecutor David Brathwaite argued before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty that the records are critical to proving the charges against Brutus. He maintained that such an order is standard in financial crime cases.
