Prosecution Costs for Wales in Bermuda Case
Dear South Wales Police and Crime Panel,
I ask to have explained, to be provided all information about, the prosecution of a local resident for offences committed in Bermuda. I wish to understand:
The decision to prosecute in Wales, not Bermuda
The cost of the proceedings in terms of resources and costs
How much the Bermuda police contributed to the cost
Who is pursuing recovery of the funds taken
Whether we will have funds reinstated
I note the Bermuda police did not attend but that an officer quoted is also named in the Paradise Papers according to a report at www.bermudapolice.com
Yours faithfully,
Rhys Evans
