 Former Premier Michael Misick’s brother, Chal Misick, is among at least a dozen people charged so far with various offenses including bribery, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the Turks and Caicos Islands government, according to the Special Investigation Prosecution Team. A number of those charged are expected to appear in court Dec. 6 when their names and charges will be revealed. The prosecution team has said it will not identify people charged until their first appearance in court. Chal Misick, a lawyer who handled a number of various transactions for his brother, was charged Nov. 29 with money laundering and appeared Nov. 30 in magistrate’s court on Providenciales. His bail had not been determined at press time. Former government Minister Lillian Boyce has confirmed that she has been charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in a land deal on North West Point. And the SIPT has confirmed that Seven Stars developer Jak Civre has been charged with bribery and granted a multimillion dollar bail in court. After a Commission of Inquiry in 2009, the U.K. suspended elected government in this overseas territory and appointed veteran British prosecutor Helen Garlick and the SIPT to investigate allegations of widespread corruption by former government officials and others. Substantial progress in the SIPT investigation is one of eight milestones set by the U.K. for return to elected government, which is expected late in 2012.
