posted (July 2, 2020)

Pinelo pleaded not guilty and was offered bail of $10,000. He returns to court on 28th October.

So now, two police Corporals are charged for forging gun licenses - and putting more illegal weapons out there on the street. It's a fundamental betrayal of their job to uphold law and order and the Professional Standards Branch is investigating:

Supt Dwayne Sutherland - OC, Professional Standards Branch
"The investigation led to like what Mr. Romero mentioned the detention and charge of Corporal Oscar Itch who was charged with 10 counts of forging and official document that investigation also led to the detention of corporal Donald Pinelo who is also attached to the police headquarters in Belmopan, yesterday evening. He was charged today with six counts of forging an official document. He was taken before the court and he was granted bail. The professional standard branch is also investigating this matter. At the conclusion of the investigation we will be looking at all the evidence gathered and upon viewing those evidence, we will be preparing appropriate charges, internal disciplinary changes that will be laid against these officers and any other officers should that be the case."
