Was just talking on the phone with Jonathan Ali, who gave me the news that Trinidad & Tobago’s Leader of the Opposition, Basdeo Panday, has been found guilty. The Trinidad Express’s web site posted a newsflash just after noon, our time (GMT -4):
The verdict is in! The Court has ruled that Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday has to pay 1.5 million TT Dollars to the state and serve 2 years hard labour in jail for deliberately failing to disclose a London bank account.
Oh I so hope he serves his time… instead of weaseling out of it. Wouldn’t that just be lovely?
One corrupt politician down. So that leaves what? About 8,000 or so more to go?
