McKeeva Bush to return to court today

Former Premier of the Cayman Islands, McKeeva Bush, is scheduled to return to the Grand Court today on 11 charges.



When he last appeared on April 12, his attorneys asked that the Grand Court date be set for mid-June to facilitate campaigning before the May 22 general election.



However, Magistrate Valdis Foldats said the mention in Grand Court would be brief, and an earlier date would allow for papers to be prepared and an indictment to be filed.



Bush faces two charges of misconduct in public office and four charges of breach of trust by a member of the Legislative Assembly.



Bush was originally arrested in December last year on suspicion of theft and corruption and one week later he was ousted from office when Cayman Islands lawmakers passed a vote of no confidence in him.
