Lawyer says R Hotel prosecution a waste of time as Green, others cleared by DPP

Posted  1,027 Views updated 4 years ago

Attorney-at-law representing the R Hotel in New Kingston, Peter Champagnie, is suggesting that if charges are preferred against his client for breaches of the Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA), they are likely to amount to nothing.

R Hotel is operated by Renfrew Management Limited, whose chief executive officer is Joseph Bogdanovich Jr.

Champagnie was responding to the legal opinion of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Paula Llewellyn, which was submitted to the police on Friday with regard to alleged breaches of the DRMA involving then Agriculture Minister Floyd Green; Mona Division Councillor Andrew Bellamy; director of enforcement and compliance at the National Solid Waste Management Authority, Dave Powell; and Gabriel Hylton last September.

The DPP ruled that no charges be laid against the four, who were captured on video among a group of people at a birthday party at the hotel toasting to a no-movement day last September.

No-movement days were implemented by the Government last year to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
