UBS loan case dismissed

Very high profile cases are watered down or dismissed: Polye

Opposition Leader, Don Polye in a statement today said very high profile cases are either watered down or dismissed on so-called technical grounds.

Polye is concerned that such high profile cases are not being handled well thus resulting in them being dismissed prematurely.

He said this when referring to the controversial UBS loan case in which the Supreme Court ruled the referral of Prime Minister for prosecution as unconstitutional.

Supreme Court bench dismisses UBS loan case

The case was dismissed for warrant of prosecution after Don Polye’s lawyer Loani Henao failed to appear in court in time for the hearing at 9:30 this morning.

Lawyer representing the Prime Minister and the NEC Ian Molloy was in court when the matter got dismissed.

What was returnable this morning was a standing application where Polye was to inform the court through his lawyer that he had enough grounds to challenge the Government’s decision to acquire the K3 billion UBS loan.
