BUSINESSMAN RODNEY LEVI WILKINSON will have to wait until next week to secure his freedom.

When he first appeared before the court two weeks ago, he was remanded to HMP Dodds but was ordered release on bail by Justice Maureen Crane-Scott in a High Court bail application.

The owner of Executive Car Rentals and Premium Pre-Owned Vehicles Inc. is accused of defrauding a number of car dealers and finance companies. (TS)
