Press Release
Mavado exonerated
Jamaica's Director of Public Prosecutions, Paula Llewellyn QC, this
morning signed a letter stating that the Crown is not continuing
criminal proceedings against David Brooks AKA Mavado. The letter was
presented to the Gun Court and the matter against him dismissed.
Mavado has been de-processed and his fingerprint destroyed. Freed of
all charges, Mavado is looking forward to continuing his positive
rise in Jamaica and on the world stage.
“We said from day one that we have all faith in the Jamaican justice
system that Mavado will be vindicated in this matter,” manager Julian
Jones-Griffith said. “Give thanks to God for bringing a brighter day,
and to the legal team of Tom Taveres-Finson and Antoinette Haughton.
When Mavado’s US visa was cancelled it was on the grounds that he had
an ongoing case before the courts. As this matter is now cleared up
we will be approaching the US Embassy at the earliest opportunity to
reapply for his work permit, once we have gathered all the necessary
documentation from the courts etc.”
The charges arose out of an incident that took place in July of 2007.
Statements were taken at that time and despite no new evidence
emerging, Mavado was not arrested until March of 2008. He was charged
with Illegal Possession of Firearm and Shooting with Intent but the
Crown went on to decide that there was a lack of evidence against
Mavado so they could not proceed with the trial and it collapsed in
court.
Mavado is thankful this chapter is now closed and he can continue
what he does best, making hits and connecting Jamaica.
