Last night we told you that the Supreme Court ruled against Dean Fuller and his companies Omni and Fultec, allowing the Financial Intelligence Unit to maintain a freeze on 22 bank accounts. Today Fuller’s Omni Networks and Fultec Systems issued a press release saying that they have instructed their attorneys to immediately file an appeal.
The OMNI/Fultec release adds that the judge made his decision based on “circumstantial evidence” – and that they, “completely reject that there is any evidence of tainted funds and strongly disagree with the decision of the judge.” The release says that the continued freeze does not affect FULTEC’s business – which had the order varied to allow that company to make withdrawals to continue its daily operations.
As we reported, in a decision issued yesterday, Justice Oswell Legall found that, “there is a reasonable cause to believe...that the accounts in the banks are tainted in relation to the offence of money laundering.”
