Last Updated on Friday, 18 October 2024, 22:01 by Writer Assistant Police Commissioner of the Guyana Police Force Calvin Brutus is facing 240 “impending” charges totalling about GY$800 million Head of the Guyana Police Force’s Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) and Assistant Police Commissioner Fizul Karimbaksh says in court documents “I further contend that this investigation is significant and encompasses over 240 impending charges for alleged violations” of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of Financing Terrorism Act Police (Discipline) Act and the Integrity Commission Act “and involves approximately $800 million which is the subject matter of these impending charges,” Mr Karimbaksh said The disclosure was made in Mr Karimbaksh’s affidavit to support the State’s now successful argument that Mr Brutus should not be allowed to accompany his wife to the United States for her medical checkup Other court documents related to a freezing order show that Mr Brutus his wife and minor child have a total of nine bank accounts with an accumulating balance of about GY$500 million in just over a year Mr Brutus’ salary from the Guyana Police Force is GY$491,487 and his salary account has GY$1,058,457 Records show Mr Brutus has a two-year old registered business named Kytus General Contracting & Holdings Inc The court records state that Ms Aulder owns two businesses Mr Calvin Brutus and Ms Adonika Aulder on their wedding day According to an affidavit by the Head of SOCU Mr Brutus withdrew GY$63,752,000 less than one month before the freezing order was granted and went towards the balancer of a purchase price of a property in Alberttown SOCU alleged that Ms Aulder supplied goods to the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Police Consumers Cooperative Society Limited utilising his office to conduct certain illicit transactions in the names of South Quata Contracting & General Supplies Inc and Triple A Depot SOCU further alleged that South Quata Contracting & General Supplies Inc holds a Republic Bank Guyana account with funds of $243,398,370 and Triple A Depot holds a Republic Bank Guyana account with funds of $108,683,945 I aver that the monies in the aforementioned accounts are suspected of being proceeds of crime and it is suspected that the Second Named Applicant committed a serious offence contrary to the AML and/or colluded with the First Named Respondent from offsetting her business and living expenses.” his child and their businesses have a total of GY$439,024,229 according to an affidavit by the SOCU chief The SOCU chief told the Court in his affidavit that investigators feared that he would not return to Guyana if he were granted permission to leave “There is a real likelihood that he may abscond to avoid impending charges and being brought to justice.” The Head of SOCU admitted that the High Court issued freezing orders on July 18 and October 3 his wife and minor son to “prevent the dissipation of assets potentially linked to criminal activity.” Mr Karimbaksh said that Mr Brutus’ salary account was not frozen and so he is allowed to access funds for “reasonable” business and daily living Concerning the position by Mr Brutus and his wife that they provided “overwhelming evidence” to justify the legitimate source of funds in the frozen bank accounts the SOCU Head said that was the subject of the investigations that would be left to the court to decide Mr Karimbaksh denied that the applicants were not a flight risk and said the recommendations for the more than 240 charges were awaiting advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions The SOCU Head pointed to a contradiction between the grounds for a variation of the freezing order and Mr Brutus’ ability to fund a trip for himself and wife to the United States for the latter’s medical appointment He said Mr Brutus asked the High Court for a variation of the freezing order because he was experiencing “significant financial strain and he is unable to offset living expenses” Mr Baksh said Mr Brutus sought permission from the court to leave Guyana with his wife for “unsubstantiated reasons” and “grave” financial difficulties According to the country’s financial crimes chief Mr Brutus never informed the court that he has access to his salary account and he has not provided any evidence of his “pressing” legal issues or “other personal matters” which cannot be conducted virtually or remotely With regard to the argued grounds of the need for medical attention by Mr Brutus’ wife saying that an exhibit ‘Obstetrics New Patient with Cindy Etienne NP’ amounts to inadmissible hearsay since the nature and source of the document is unknown “It represents no more than a generically generated appointment date of 23rd October 2024 with the said Dr with no correlation whatsoever” with Mr Brutus or his wife He also said Ms Aulder provided no evidence whatsoever that the medical services she allegedly seeks in the United States are unavailable in Guyana whether in the public or private health sector Also frozen are bank accounts at Demerara Bank Republic Bank in the name of Ms Aulder totalling GY$400 million which are suspected to be “tainted property” for the purposes of money laundering investigations against the couple said Mr Karimbaksh in relying on information from the Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit The High Court on Friday refused an application by Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus to accompany his wife to the United States for pregnancy-related medical attention Mr Brutus wanted to leave Guyana with his wife on Saturday The Court refused the application based on the seriousness of the allegations and the fact that he did not apply to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs to leave Guyana The judge refused the application after hearing arguments from Deputy Solicitor General Shoshanna Lall that Mr Brutus has 240 pending charges of financial crimes Fizul Karimbaksh and Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus when he was admitted to practice at the Guyana Bar Earl Daniels’ argument that his client was never questioned by investigators of the Special Organised Crime Unit Ms Lall informed the Court that he and the Head of SOCU Fizal Karimbaksh reside next to each other in the police compound “It defies logic,” Justice Persaud remarked to which Ms Lall said “it does indeed Mr Brutus went on annualized leave in July and was afterwards placed on administrative leave Mr Daniels said if Mrs Brutus could not leave on Friday she would have to await another doctor’s appointment in May Mr Daniels gave “no comment” when asked by Demerara Waves Online News whether he would be appealing Justice Persaud’s decision Quata Budukusu has expressed excitement that his latest album Quantum Riddim has been selected for consideration in the Reggae Album category for the 2018 Grammy Awards He joins Blakk Rasta bringing to two the number of Ghanaian musicians being considered in the Reggae Album catergory for the 2018 Grammy Awards Consideration is the first step in the process of attaining a Grammy The second step is for the Academy to vote and

Ghana for a feature but none has been bold enough to honour his invitation because they are afraid of him Quata Budukusu told Showbiz he feels he stands tall among all the rappers hence their refusal to accept to feature on his songs “I have reached out to almost all the A-list rappers in Ghana including Sarkodie Flowkingstone just to mention a few and none has accepted to feature I think it is fear because they know my lyrical prowess and how good I am The only way you can know one rapper is better than the other is when both of them are on one song and that I believe is what they are preventing,” he said “these rappers would only feature weaker artistes they can always dominate and run away from me when I call them.” He added that he literally pleads with musicians for a feature and yet still his offer is turned down I have reached out to Stonebwoy and a couple of others and all I hear is one story or the other,” he said The Baby hit-maker said he helped these artistes during his heyday but now he has to beg them to get a feature Flowkingstone and others and they keep tossing me and giving me flimsy excuses the sad thing is that these same rappers are always featuring on songs of other artistes,” he lamented Quata Budukusu worked with artistes such as Kojo Antwi I brought tongue twisting to Ghana and no artiste can dispute that Atwere and I wonder why any artiste would think I am not good hence their refusal to feature on my song,” he stated He also expressed concern about the situation where DJs close their doors on old artistes working hard to bounce back by refusing to play their music “What is happening on our music scene is that radio presenters and artiste managers have their favourite musicians and once you don’t belong to their camp He used the opportunity to tell his fans to watch out for him Home secretary Theresa May has insisted that the European Courts of Human Rights (ECHR) should throw out Abu Qatada's appeal against deportation as he has "no right" to ask for the appeal to be referred May was forced to make a Commons statement over the confusion surrounding the appeal deadline for Qatada in answer to a demand by shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper May repeated her assertion that the application made by Qatada's lawyers appeared after the three-month deadline set by the ECHR had passed and he was arrested May said: "The government is clear that Abu Qatada has no right to refer the case to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights since the three-month deadline to do so lapsed at midnight on Monday." "The government has written to the European court to make clear our case that the application should be rejected because it is out of time." Following the radical cleric's arrest on Tuesday, his lawyers launched an appeal to the ECHR, effectively delaying any moves to deport him to Jordan where he is wanted on terror charges May was adamant that the appeal was nothing more than a delaying tactic Qatada has managed to avoid being deported from Britain since 2001 we have been in touch with the European court over the last three months to check our understanding "They were absolutely clear that we were operating on the basis that it was midnight on April 16." Cooper attacked the whole process during the debate saying how the latest appeal has turned the procedure to attempt to deport Qatada into a farce Cooper said: "When the home secretary is accused of not knowing what day of the week it is chaos and confusion have turned into farce."
