FORMER Cabinet minister Elma Campbell will be given a date for the start of her trial early next month.
Last year, the former Free National Movement senator, along with her son, Che Chase, appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt, charged with a number of fraud related offences after they were accused of defrauding the Ministry of Tourism of $1.2m.
The mother and son were charged with Damalus Curry who was also arraigned on one count of money laundering.
During their initial court appearance, all of the accused denied the allegations brought against them and the case was adjourned to March 2020 for a status hearing.
However, this action was delayed due to the restrictions imposed on the Magistrate’s Court at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
When the trio returned to court yesterday, their matter was transferred to Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes.
Campbell, Chase and Curry return to court on May 5 for a fixture hearing.
