Oh how the mighty have fallen. At five-thirty this evening, former Gang Suppression Unit Commander Mark Flowers was formally arraigned for two counts of Unlawful Sexual Intercourse and has been remanded to the Belize Central Prison. Up until five minutes before he entered the Courtroom, CIB had asserted that on two occasions – once in […]
Flowers was brought to court just before four this afternoon, and there was the usual Police confusion which seems to surround all major cases. After about forty-five minutes of waiting for Flowers to be logged in and assigned a Court, CIB officers jumped back in their vehicle and sped off, presumably when the instruction was […]
Flowers is not going down quietly. Today he provided a one-on-one interview on a number of explosive issues such as his relations with suspected murderer William “Danny” Mason; what he knows about financial contributions made to several politicians and of course about, Minister John Saldivar, his boss, who has not uttered a word to him […]
While Flowers admits to meeting the minor in the summer of 2015, he maintains that he never had any physical contact with her. As we mentioned, the report against him was made shortly after he relieved her stepfather of his duties as a farmhand. Additionally, Flowers says that similar complaints, had been filed by the […]
According to Flowers, there is a move afoot to tarnish his reputation. He believes that he is being politically railroaded because of a picture he posted on Facebook.

Minister Frank Papa Mena, has admitted he received ten thousand dollars for his bye-election campaign in 2015 from William Mason. While everybody is keeping their distance with a pole a mile long, Minister Saldivar on Monday, admitted that he had received in excess fifty thousand dollars from Mason for his football club, the Belmopan Bandits. […]
But Flowers tells an entirely different story than that of the minister. According to Flowers, Mason made it known to him that he was part owner of the football club after handing over well over a hundred thousand dollars to Saldivar, but he could not appear as co-owner because he didn’t have an account in […]
Central to what has been unfolding over the past week and a half is Belmopan Area Representative John Saldivar, whose name is repeatedly being called in the current saga. Flowers insinuates that the senior politician may have had a hand in creating this perfect storm to distract from what is taking place with the Lucas […]
