The former Premier of the Cayman Islands, William McKeeva Bush, has now been charged and is due to appear in court early next month.
Mr. Bush answered his bail this afternoon (Wednesday 20 March) and was formally charged with two counts of Misconduct in a Public Office, four counts of Breach of Trust by a member of the Legislative Assembly (contrary to S.13 of the Anti-Corruption Law 2008), and five counts of Theft (contrary to S.241 of the Penal Code 2007 Revision).
The 57 year old charged is said to in the misuse of government credit card and importing explosive materials.
Mr. Bush has been bailed to appear in Grand Court on 12 April 2013.
Meanwhile, His Excellency the Governor Duncan Taylor made it clear upon the Prime Minister’s arrest in December last year, that this was a police investigation not a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Investigation and that the premier’s arrest had nothing to do with the recent arrest of the former Turks and Caicos Premier Michael Misick in Brazil.
