Employees at a Kmart on St. Croix were robbed at gunpoint Monday, the V.I. Police Department reported.

A High Court judge has frozen the assets of six former employees of ANSA Merchant Bank to the tune of $27 million.

The interim order was made by Justice Frank Seepersad, on Monday, as part of a claim the bank has filed against the six former employees and six roll-on/roll-off used car dealers.

The bank alleges its former employees and the six dealerships engaged in a conspiracy to present fraudulent documents and/or make fraudulent representations to the bank for over $27 in loans.

It is also alleged the former employees breached the terms of their contracts and conducted themselves in a manner that was likely to destroy or seriously damage the relationship of trust between themselves and the bank.

The bank has also accused the defendants of wrongfully engaging in actions with intent to injure the bank and cause losses by unlawful means in the conspiracy to defraud and conceal their actions.

In filing the claim, the bank also applied for an injunction to freeze the assets of the former employees.

Seepersad said the court’s jurisdiction was founded in the civil proceeding rules and such orders can be granted when it appears likely that the claimant will recover judgment or if there are reasons to believe that the defendant had assets to meet the judgment in whole or in part but may take steps to ensure these assets are no longer available or traceable.

“The test is therefore whether the claimant has shown at least a ‘good arguable case.’

“At this stage, the court holds the view that the refusal of a Mareva injunction against the former bank employees would involve a real risk that a judgment or award in favour of the plaintiffs would remain unsatisfied.”

He said the court held the view that the position presented by the bank outlined a good arguable case that the former bank employees were likely involved in an intricate fraudulent scheme.

“The court also holds the view that the allegations of fraud and dishonesty are significant and that there is a likelihood that someone who engaged in such conduct would have the propensity to attempt to dissipate assets so as to frustrate any judgement awarded.”

Although he agreed to grant the injunction to freeze the former employees’ assets, the judge said he needed more information before he considered a similar order against the used car dealers.

Directions were given for the filing of affidavits and submissions and the case was adjourned to December 11, at which time the judge will give a decision on whether the freezing orders will be issued against the defendants until trial.

The claim alleges by reason of conspiracy to defraud, each employee is liable to account for the misappropriated sums and liable for damages.

The bank is represented by attorneys Bryan McCutcheon, Candace Layers and Marcelle Ferdinand.

A 20-year-old man from St Barb's in Laventille is set to appear before a Princes Town magistrate on Tuesday charged in connection with the recent home invasion at the home of the proprietors of Persad's chain of supermarkets in New Grant.

The suspect was charged with three counts of burglary, one at the home of the Persad family and two separate incidents in the district.

The police held him last Tuesday after an intense investigation, which included ASP Phillip, Insp Ramlogan, Sgts Nanan and Steele, and Cpl Ramkissoon of the Southern Division.

Hours earlier, at around 3 am, six men entered the home of Mohan Persad and his wife, Shirley Persad, both 78, of Sixth Company Road.

They own Persad's D' Food King supermarkets.

The intruders beat the elderly couple, tied their hands with tie straps and covered their faces. The intruders stole money as well as a vault with money, jewellery, and two guns — a Smith and Wesson revolver and a Remingthon shotgun—with ammunition.

The intruders also stole two cell phones worth about $6,000 and a DVR.

The intruders are believed to have got in by prying open a window then leaving through the front door after the robbery.

On Friday, the police from the Inter-Agency Task Force received a tip-off and went to a bushy area off Beetham Gardens, where they recovered the two guns.

IATF police handed over the weapons to the Southern Division police.

The mastermind behind the attack on the Persads is said to be Christopher Noel, who was shot and killed in Palmiste in a confrontation with the police on Friday.

He was also a close friend of the suspect from St Barb's.

Noel grew up a stone's throw away from the Persad family.

Noel, also called Blocker, Glocker and Scars, was on bail charged with a murder that happened on December 18, 2009.

In July, a High Court judge granted him $600,000 surety bail with several conditions. He was ordered to report to the Princes Town police station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 am to 9 am. He was also ordered to reside on King Street, Princes Town.

Investigators learnt that Noel had been staying at a hotel in San Fernando.

The court also placed Noel under a curfew between 10 am and 5 am.

Another bail condition was that he had to surrender his passport.

[FrontPageAfrica] Monrovia -- Former Margibi County Senator Clarice Alpha Jah has sounded a caveat to United States-sanctioned former Liberian Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Nathaniel McGill to relinquish his ambition of contesting in the county or brace himself for a barrage of humiliations and embarrassment from citizens of the county for justifying his involvement into corruption.

She did that! Here's how Jalisa Vaughn-Jefferson positioned herself to work with over 20 top brands this year.

A cocktail party at a stately old house like the Boissiere House or Mille Fleurs at night, surrounded by a jungle full of wonder, secret places, and magic.

That image came to mind as this reporter walked through Arnim’s Art Galleria, viewing the 27 paintings of Sarah Beckett’s third installation of her Lockdown Moments series.

The portraits are interspersed with serene jungle scenes full of greenery, flowers, butterflies, dragonflies and water. The people are dressed in semi-formal attire in shades of white, purple and grey and the light of the full moon is coming in through the doors and windows to fall upon their faces.

Altogether, the collection is whimsical, as Beckett’s work tends to be, and feels very quiet.

The exhibition, Desiderata: Journey of Love and Solitude, will be at Arnim’s on Tragarete Road, Port of Spain until October 16.

Beckett told Sunday Newsday she read Desiderata, a poem by Max Ehrmann, in 1971. She was going through some old sketchbooks when she found a page on which she had written out the poem. It was serendipity.

The first line reads, “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”

She described the poem as peaceful and gentle, with kind yet realistic words. And it became a platform for her work, setting the tone for her paintings.

“Any artist is bound, in a way, to reflect what is going on in their moment in history. This covid thing is cutting deep into our society and our lives. We’ve adjusted but there’s a lot of angst. Everybody, in their particular way, is having to deal with something.

“With this show, I thought we have to go deeper than the normal. And I wanted the show to be reflective, very quiet, and for people to walk in and think, ‘I could put down my burden for a moment or two and just enjoy.”

Since covid19 has affected everyone, she wanted as many people as possible represented including African, Indian, Latin, and Caucasian individuals. She also wanted to show figures “in the embrace” of the beauty of the world, and TT in particular, as that beauty continues to bloom.

She described the portraits as “lyrical,” light, and flowing saying she wanted them to seem simple and effortless even though a lot of work went into them. She had to get the balance and weight of colour right while creating quiet spaces without leaving them blank.

In addition, the subjects of the portraits have either an instrument or a mobile phone in hand.

Asked about the phones, she said they were the “icon” of the 21st century, so she decided to marry traditional painting with something that would never have been put in one.

SOCIAL Development and Family Services Minister Donna Cox said the police are investigating a programme launched under the former UNC-led People's Partnership (PP) coalition government for possible fraud and corruption.

Cox made this disclosure in her contribution to the budget debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

Referring to a September 2012 cabinet note, Cox said this programme allowed for the production of 2,300 reloadable prepaid master cards for a one-time grant payment of $510, starting on September 3, 2012.

She indicated what the ministry's investigations into this programme discovered.

"The application form which accompanied the master cards stated that the cards could load up to a staggering $30,000 per day. This simple arithmetic reveals an alarming fact: 2,300 cards multiplied by $30,000 per day equals a potential daily sum of $69,000,000 that could have been laundered through this programme."

Cox told MPs, "As I stand here making my contribution, there has already been collaboration with the police on the issue of potential fraud and money laundering activities that may have taken place during the implementation of this master card fiasco."

Later in the sitting, Chaguanas East MP Vandana Mohit said Cox was "heavy on insinuation but low on fact."

Mohit dismissed Cox's statements. She claimed that Cox was justifying any future attempts by Government to reduce relief provided to vulnerable people.

"They (Government) have shut the doors on the disabled. They are coming for your food cards."
