ST GEORGE’S, Grenada: One of the lawyers representing former legal advisor to the Keith Mitchell administration in Grenada, Hugh Wildman, claims that the Jamaican-born attorney was humiliated and disgraced by the Grenada police.
Attorney Dwight Horsfod told newsmen on Monday night that Wildman slept on a concrete platform and the police did not want him to get medical attention during his 30-hour ordeal at the police station.

Wildman was detained on Saturday afternoon while he was about to board a flight en route to Jamaica. He was arrested following instructions from the Director of Public Prosecutions for alleged wrongdoing in relation to the collapsed offshore bank, First International Bank of Grenada (FIBG).
There were allegations made a few years ago that Wildman, a former attorney general, accepted bribes from FIBG officials in order to prevent the FBI in the United States from going into Grenada to investigate the bank.
He was released on Sunday night and was allowed to leave the country.
Horsford told newsmen that Wildman’s detention was politically motivated and it was the start of an agenda to pursue other senior members of the former administration of the New National Party.
The government has denied the allegations and said that Wildman was not only allowed to have his medication, but was seen by two medical doctors during his brief detention. | | | | Reads : 194 |
