Trinidad's ex-PM 'hid money in British bank'
Former Trinidadian prime minister Basdeo Panday hid thousands of pounds in a British bank account, a prosecutor told the start of a criminal trial for the prominent opposition leader.
Panday, who was prime minister from 1995 to 2001, broke Trinidadian law when he failed to disclose a NatWest bank account jointly held with his wife, Oma, that at one point held nearly $200,000 (€164,900), prosecutor Timothy Cassel said in his opening statement.
