CLAYTON AND PIPER BY VIVIAN TYSON SUN SENIOR EDITOR
Leader of the Progressive National Party (PNP) and former Speaker of House of Assembly, Clayton Greene and former government minister McAllister ‘Piper’ Hanchell were each granted $175,000 bail when they appeared before Magistrate Clifton Warner in the Magistrate’s Court on corruption charges on Friday, February 10. Greene is facing three money laundering charges; entering into a money laundering arrangement; acquiring proceeds from criminal conduct; and handling proceeds from criminal conduct. Mark Weeks, the lead prosecutor for the Special Investigation and Prosecution Team (SIPT) said that in 2007, he entered into arrangements with Floyd Hall to handle proceeds from sale of a property at North West Point in Providenciales. The SIPT said that all three dealings amounted to $1.7 million. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
