TESTIMONIES continued yesterday in the criminal trial of Long Island MP Adrian Gibson and five others.
Damian Gomez, KC, questioned Registrar General Camille Gomez-Jones about documents she entered into evidence.
Earlier this week, she submitted registration records of companies connected to the accused and conveyances of land Mr Gibson allegedly acquired between 2018 and 2020.
During cross-examination, Mr Gomez asked the witness about registration dates for Baha Maintenance and Elite Maintenance, as well as the business owners of the companies.
It was revealed that Elite Maintenance was incorporated in 2018, and Baha Maintenance was incorporated in 2020.
Regarding Elite Maintenance, Mr Gomez said if the company was incorporated in 2018, “how could it be associated with the purchase of a property on the 13th of February 2019?”
Mrs Gomez-Jones said: “The document you’ve shown me demonstrates that this existed as a business before it was incorporated in the registry.”
Mr Gibson is facing charges concerning his tenure as WSC executive chairman under the Minnis administration.
The charges stem from Mr Gibson’s alleged failure to declare his interest in contracts awarded by the WSC.
The FNM politician is charged with Mr Elwood Donaldson, Jr, former WSC’s general manager, Rashae Gibson, his cousin, Joan Knowles, Peaches Farquharson and Jerome Missick.
Mr Gomez, KC, Murrio Ducille, KC, Bryan Bastian, Ryan Eve, Raphael Moxey, Christina Galanos, Ian Cargill and Donald Saunders represent the defendants.
The Crown’s prosecutors are acting Director of Public Prosecutions Cordell Frazier, Cashena Thompson, Karine MacVean and Rashied Edgecombe.
