ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- The highly controversial court matter involving two interdicted policemen, Pamphill Prevost and Simon Power, who were allegedly linked to missing money while they were executing search operations while on police duty between January 2012 to July 2014, is officially underway.

The court matter was scheduled to commence on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, however, it was delayed for reasons unknown and officially commenced before His Lordship the Honourable Justice Raymond C.S Williams today, February 2, 2022, at the High Court.

Henry acquitted

Initially, Prevost, Power, and a third former cop, Shawn Henry, had a string of charges relating to the missing monies stacked against them; however, at the end of the case, which lasted nearly three months in 2019, Henry was acquitted and is now a free man.

Henry was accused of conspiracy to steal and was found not guilty by a jury.
