Cops Caught on Camera taking Vybz Kartel affiliated Money

Cross Roads (Observer): SIX policemen who were assigned to the Gun Court Remand Centre have been transferred and are facing certain corruption charges after they were allegedly caught on camera taking money from a close relative of jailed popular entertainer Vybz Kartel. The entertainer, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is currently facing two separate charges of murder, along with his fashion stylist Calvin 'Moonie' Haye. According to Observer sources, investigators from the police Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) followed one of the policemen from the Gun Court Remand Centre to the home of a close relative of the deejay where he was videotaped taking money from her. The damning video also showed one policeman accepting money from a suspect in one of Kartel's murder cases in exchange for his being allowed to visit the deejay in a restricted area of the lock-up, said a source. The visit is said to have taken place before the man was arrested in connection with the murder case. The man, the source noted, was not searched before being allowed into an area of the facility which is off limits to members of the public. The source also said the man spent a considerable amount of time talking to Kartel, while other police officers stood by and did nothing to bring the illicit visit to a halt. Kartel, who has been in jail since October 3, has been transferred to the Horizon Adult Remand Centre on Spanish Town Road because of the incident, according to an Observer source. Kartel, Haye, deejay Shawn Storm, and Cayro Jones have been charged with the August 16 murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams. Police say Williams, whose body has not been found, was stabbed and shot to death over a missing illegal firearm. The murder is believed to have occurred in Havendale, St Andrew. The prosecution has said it has video and phone evidence in the case. Kartel has also been charged, along with other men, with the July murder of labourer Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan in Gregory Park, Portmore, St Catherine.
