Former Deputy Commissioner of Police Rudolph Dixon has received a final payout as high as $2 million to retire quietly from the Royal Cayman Islands Police, bringing to a close a three-year saga. The payment, made through counsel Thorp & Alberga, came “about five or six weeks ago,” according to a spokesman in the Office of the Governor, Duncan Taylor. Mr Taylor declined to comment further, however, saying only “as part of the settlement with Mr Dixon, there was a non-disclosure/ confidentiality agreement attached to it. Consequently, I’m unable to share any details, nor would Mr Dixon himself or his lawyers.” While acknowledging the settlement, Mr Dixon would neither elaborate nor describe the amount he received, variously said to be between $300,000 and $2 million.
