ST GEORGE’S, Grenada: FOLLOWING his detention (last) week, police have formally charged Guyanese-born journalist Rawle Nelson with two counts of stealing EC$15,394.28 (Gy$113,322) by reason of employment, forgery and uttering a false document.

Police said that, in July 2013, Nelson began working as a consultant and managing editor with Moving Target, the company which owns Meaningful Television and is also the publisher of the weekly Grenada Informer newspaper.

Police said investigations are continuing, and it was likely that more charges would be laid against Nelson.

Nelson once worked in St Kitts & Nevis, and is managing director of the marketing company Optimum Solutions. He will make his first court appearance today at the St George’s court. His legal counsel is Ruggles Ferguson from the law firm of Ciboney Chambers. (CMC)
