Attorney-at-law Conrad Powell, is to appear later today in the May Pen Resident Magistrate’s Court in Clarendon, where he faces corruption charges for allegedly attempting to bribe a policeman.

It is further alleged that Powell contacted the policeman who was investigating the case, and offered to pay him J$20,000 so that the case file would not be submitted to the Mandeville Resident Magistrate’s Court in Manchester.

The policeman reported the matter to the JCF’s Anti-Corruption Branch, and telephone conversations between Powell and the policeman were later recorded. A sting operation was set up, and Powell was allegedly caught handing over $10,000 to the cop. The incident was also reportedly videotaped.
