(CNS): Another individual has pleaded not guilty to bribery of a public officer in the Cayman Islands’ largest prosecution brought by the Anti-Corruption Commission. Around 20 people have been charged in the case, almost all of them for allegedly giving an employee of the Department of Vehicle and Drivers’ Licensing a $100 bung for getting their cars through the inspection process. The crown is trying each one of the accused separately starting next May.
Like most of those involved in the case, Corey Christopher Cato, a resident of George Town, denied the charge when he appeared in court earlier this month, and a jury trial was set for 9 June. The crown contends that more than six years ago, in August 2018, he gave Mark Chin $100 to secure an inspection certificate.
