Ruel Reid, his wife Sharen, their daughter Sharelle, Professor Fritz Pinnock and Brown’s Town Division Councillor Kim Brown Lawrence are facing corruption charges in relation to the CMU affair.
Former Education Minister Ruel Reid, Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) President Professor Fritz Pinnock and their three co-accused are to hear on February 4 whether their fraud case will continue.
At that time, Chief Parish Judge Chester Crooks will be ruling on a point raised by defence attorney Hugh Wildman.
Wildman has maintained that officers from the Financial Investigation Division had no authority in law to arrest or bring charges against the accused.
