In a release sent to RTC News, SIPT released that, “Norman Benjamin Saunders Jr, 44, appeared at the Magistrates Court today before Judge Hatmin charged with three counts money laundering. The matter was sent to the Supreme Court for a sufficiency hearing on 2nd August 2013. Mr Saunders was released on bail.”
Following his release, Mr. Saunders sent a response to RTC News moments after leaving SIPT.
“I am shocked at the SIPT’s decision to charge me. I have not committed the offenses for which they have accused me, their charges are unfair, and I will strongly contest them.
I am grateful for the messages of support that I have already received from friends, clients, and professional colleagues. My hope now is that a trial with a jury of my peers can soon proceed , so that I can put this matter behind me and my family, and so that we can return to a normal life.
I do not intend to make further statements on the matter,” said Norman Saunders, Jr.
RTC News will continue to follow this story as it develops.
