68-year-old denies transferring money to 'make company disappear'
A Douglas man will stand trial after being accused of bribing court staff in Uganda.
Gordon John Mundy, of Selbourne Drive, denies committing conspiracy between 5 and 10 December 2011.
The 68-year-old appeared at Douglas Courthouse where he also entered a not guilty plea to a corruption offence said to have been committed between the same dates.
It’s alleged that, as the managing director of a corporate service provider, he conspired to influence foreign public officials – by transferring $2,000 – to ‘make a company disappear’.
Committal proceedings – where the case is elevated to the Court of General Gaol Delivery – will take place on 6 February; he’s been bailed until that date.
Update: At Douglas Courthouse on 6 February Mr Mundy's advocate challenged the committal process. A committal challenge hearing will take place on 13 March.
