It een Chester, it een Munroe, I didnt hear the PM say "*it wasnt me*", but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. And then I will ask what PM could remain in office with a scandal of this massive scale happening under his nose? Munroe claims they wo r.c king on a legislation to stop these kind of abuses and have been doing so for two years. Well why did they allow JDL? Because that seems to be a direct shot in the foot to any drug smuggling legislation they could possibly produce.
Nothing anyone who's said something has said makes an iota of sense.
This the same mulberry bush that growing wild and popping up everywhere that allowed *police officers* to claim they couldnt stop Nygard from removing his assets, in contravention of a court order, because the gate was locked and had Gary Wang getting an emergency passport from the US Embassy because *police officers* "*could*" not, (the sky was green that day limiting search capabilities) return his passport to allow him to go and testify against Sam
The commissioner really should resign. He has failed to uncover three massive corruption scandals within the country and his ranks, with the scandals being so egregious that outside forces were compelled to reveal the scale of both and the commissioner knew absolutely nothing. This is unfathomable.
Still talking about loose apples.
At this point we can only conclude that he does not have the capacity to bring this organization in line, and it may not be fair to pin it just on him, it may be a reflection of the entire senior leadership, but then that comes back full circle to him, he can appoints the team.
Strong but toothless statements that will likely be followed up months down the road by a Minnis like *we're not answering any more questions*, wont cut it.
Further, to these "law enforcement officers promised as resources to assist with cocaine shipments", do we have a corrupt syndicate within the force willing to do all manner of illegal activity if the price is right? This would be something totally different to "***a few bad independent apples***"
"*The United States District Court Southern District of New York has alleged that drug traffickers **HAVE smuggled** tons of cocaine through The Bahamas into the United States **since 2021** with the "support and protection of corrupt Bahamian government officials, including high-ranking members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.*"
Unlike what Brave Davis' weak statement would have us believe, **this is not a single incident** with the conspirators arrested before completion of the transaction. **This indictment references *multiple* events that *HAVE*, past tense, been completed** and paid for over the course of three **years**.
**Where is Wayne Munroe?**
He told us he couldnt get involved in the Johnson case, but certainly he should have an interest in the national security implications of one of his cabinet colleagues being implicated.
**Imagine what this implies**. This corrupt politician, who *alledgedly* negotiated a 2m dollar bribe, is sitting in a position of power and *is now himself open to threats of extortion!!* from persons who may have evidence of his involvement. In a weird turn of events, this mirrors the purpose of the Mikey Voice Tapes. Further, the unnamed politician is currently still free to operate and has his hands on access to oodles and oodles of treasury contract dollars and sensitive information to stave off actions that would out him.
Also, given the revelations in this indictment, **exactly what is JDL**?? A private entity, with **no accountability requirements in law**, that gets access to every shipment coming through the **airport**, the same airport that Curtis was in charge of btw, **before** the Customs department can exercise its legally mandated oversight to sieze contraband. As another commenter pointed out, was Minnis hinting at this deeper conspiracy when he claimed to be in fear of his life if he revealed more?
I hear the argument that this spans multiple administrations, so is not political. But I recall a statement about the practice of requiring the kiddie carnival to pay a fee to a political party before they could get a business license, "***when we in charge is ours and when they in charge is theirs***". Imagine if you had to give the PLP or FNM party 1k to get your business license? In perpetuity. This has shades of classic mafia shakedown.
Their hope is that another story will supplant this in the next week. There is simply no other reason for the adjournment. Not when they havent even finished the full day. And the Speaker. Omg. Every single PLP MP should be ashamed and should not open their mouth to speak another minute about their shock, disgust at any crime. None. Your silence told the nation everything it needs to know
"*an unnamed high-ranking Bahamian politician **authorised the HELP and involvement of Bahamian law enforcement officials** in a scheme to facilitate cocaine shipments*:
Jesus save us
"*Curtis and SGT Symonette allegedly "engaged in extensive discussions regarding the use of their official positions to transport bulk money — from Florida to The Bahamas, including by **Bahamian government or military aircraft**, in exchange for*"
Now we see why 2.5m for a jet in control of the police force makes sense. Economical.
Said before the talks of a lawsuit blaming the US for our illegal gun problem was wrongheaded. The US dont take these things lightly, especially when they have all the wiretaps and "*maybe*", Metayer??. Shot across the bow.
Brave Davis needs to call an independent commission of inquiry into the police force immediately
"*possession and use of firearms and firearms conspiracy.*"
Do we have to wonder any longer why guns are entering the country and nobody see a ting? And why the four boys in front of Commissioner Fernander had their mouths "*pin up*" as he described it when questioned about guns? I thought at the time that that interview was very weird. That's not the way trained investigators get information. It was a show of force to "somebody"
"*now the police want to give the impression they’re ‘Johnny on the spot’ because they exacted some sort of righteous justice on a suspect? Doesn’t this sort of loutish behavior **ruin cases**?*"
Exactly.
The defense will likely use the commissioner's own words, in the case of the 72yr old: "*they gave him a **good** beating*". Hopefully the DNA will prove the case. In Adriels case, the man apparently "*attacked a police officer*"...I suppose a group of them "*in fear of their lives*", then gave him a "*good beating*" as well. Just setting us up for a case dismissal.
I dont know if Brave Davis is in country long enough to recognize, there's limited intelligence and it's not working.
"*If the police had started their investigation the day her Mother reported her missing Adriel might be at home right now*"
Sadly in this case, Adriel had likely died minutes after the pastor drove to the station and reported screams. The most the police could have done was prevent him from harming someone else
That case with the dog bones found in the bushes. I suppose nothing came of it. Said at the time it was serious signs of a very warped mind. the only other explanation is "food". But an investigative team would determine that.
