Money Laundering charge against businessman lagging in court
The preliminary inquiry in the case of money laundering against Dean Fuller came up today but it did not get underway instead the businessman got an adjournment for May seventeenth. Fuller is accused of the money laundering of six million dollars. His arrest came after the Coye family, an agent for MoneyGram, was accused of a similar offence. Their case has already gone through a PI and has been committed to the Supreme Court for trial, but Fuller still does not have a date for his PI. Appearing for Fuller this morning in place of Attorney Eamon Courtenay was Naomi Badillo who complained that the office of the DPP needs to get its act together. That’s because according to FIU attorney, Antoinette Moore, Fuller’s case file is still at the DPP’s office. On June ninth 2009, Fuller was charged with money laundering and about a month ago, the Court of Appeal ruled in favor of Fuller and released his assets that had been frozen at the request of the FIU.
Charges will be drop and Mr. Fuller will be a free man.

Yo don know how it goh dah Belize… money talks and BS walks….Once you have money dah Belize there is no law you can’t break and can’t get away with.

They say when yo thief mek sure yo thief BIG caz you can get away with it and if yo thief too small then you will surely get caught..haha..Belize is a way too small a place for this kind of thing not to be happening on a day to day basis. Money speaks all languages….especially like how things haad right now.
^ Why do you all think that?
Its unfortunate that the small countries has to dance to every drum beat of the bigger countries, as a result our government has to harras its citizen just to please big brother. The folks at FIU should do some serious surving of the web and see how deep the big banks are into money laundering.
We are been fooled thinking that we get something from big brother for nothing. Find out where the little reserve our country has is on deposit. The fact about fraction banking that the Federal Reserve allow is at lease six to one; meaning that for every dollar that the bank has on deposit with the Fed, they can get six times from Fed window.
So if Belize has $100,000,000.00 on deposit with a bank on Wall street, that bank can leverage it to at least $600,000,000.00. Get it? These banks can get 1% for over night deposit with the FED, which translate to 365 days per year at a gainance of, yes, 365% per year. Then the banks act as if though they are doing the depositors a favour to pay a meager 7% per annum, if you’re a luckyto get that much. Knowledge is power. just don’t sit back and let the bankers continue to rub salt in your eyes public. These folks at FIU need to wake up and smell roses and stop been used to sucker your fellow citizens that are trying to make a living. Stop it. Folks this Internet can be used to educate yourself to stop abuse. If you have TV and Internet you have no excuse for been uninformed.
To those above me that said nonsensical crap.
Do you honestly think someone that who is innocent until proven otherwise wants to have his or her name dragged through the mud and become tried in the court of public opinion? Please!, if it was me, I would want a speedy trial with all the facts out in the open, but our justice system is crap and it takes forever for the prosecutor’s office to get their act together to present a court case. You can read all about it in the archives of both Channel 5 and 7 News. People get away hand over first with murder, robbery, manslaughter because the system is so crappy and slow, so don’t make this thing out to be a class thing, it’s a systemic thing.
The bad and sad thing is that the only way to defend yourself in our type of legal system is to pay LAWYERS to prove that you are innocent.
