Trial of SSP Thompson continues

The corruption trial involving Senior Superintendent of Police Assan Thompson is to resume in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today.

When the trial began on August 13, Secretary Manager to the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, David Grey, took the witness stand and was cross examined by the defence attorney.

SSP Thompson is accused of breaching the Corruption Prevention Act.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

SSP Thompson was brought before the court, after he allegedly failed to provide the Commission with a quantity surveyor's report for a property on Karachi Avenue, St. Andrew.

Under the law, public servants are required to declare their assets and liabilities annually.
