Former City Administrator Kiran Vanjani and city employee Kiran Bhudrani also appeared. They are both similarly charged. Over a year after they were first charged the case is still plodding through a preliminary inquiry.

The news tonight is that the charges against Vanjani have been dismissed. Her attorney Anthony Sylvester successfully argued that she had not uttered upon false documents - namely receipts - that she only got these form the now deceased financial controller Dwain Davis and passed them unto police.

The prosecutor conceded that - in her case - there was no prima facie evidence to send to trial at the Supreme Court. The chief magistrate agreed that there's nothing she did that constituted uttering on a false document - and so she was discharged from the case.

Mayor Moya-Flowers' attorney Michael Peyrefitte also made a no case submission for his client, but no decision will be made on that until next month.
