Former Petrojam executives, Dr. Perceval Bahado-Singh and  Floyd Grindley pleaded not guilty to corrupt charges laid against them by the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) after a multi-jurisdictional investigation.

Both men pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Chief Parish Court Judge, Justice Chester Crooks.

Dr. Perceval Bahado Singh is being represented by Attorney, Bert  Samuels while the former Petrojam General Manager, Floyd Grindley is being represented by Bianca Samuels. 

When they return on Thursday, bail conditions are expected to be outlined by the judge.

This as  the prosecution raised concerns  that the bail extensions were  without conditions, especially as both men live in the United States.

Meanwhile, Bert Samuels says his client, Dr. Perceval Bahado-Singh had repaid the money  even before Bahado-Singh was arrested.

He says he is ready to go to  trial.

The two men were arrested and charged by the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency for their involvement in fraudulent activities  at the state owned refinery.           

Dr. Bahado Singh was charged with twelve counts of obtaining money under false pretense while Floyd Grindley was charged with aiding and abetting and obtaining money by means of false pretense.
