Wilkinson gets bail

Article by nationnews

After two weeks on remand at HMP Dodds, businessman Rodney Levi Wilkinson was granted bail by the High Court yesterday.

And he will be allowed to go home as soon as he can find enough people to satisfy the $1.5 million bail sum set by Justice Maureen Crane-Scott.

Wilkinson’ attorneys Marlon Gordon and Safiya Moore filed the bail application after acting Magistrate Wayne Clarke remanded the owner of Executive Rentals and Premium Pre-owned Vehicles Inc. who appeared on 67 fraud charges, worth close to $4 million, on September 27.

The accused, of Friendly Hall, Jackman’s, St Michael, who was the former chief executive officer of GEMS Hotels, is accused of dishonestly obtaining the money, through his companies, from Globe Finance and Nassco Finance Ltd, between 2013 and this year. (HLE)
