And turning back now to Jasmine Hartin who remains destined at the Corozal police station - we have an update.
7News has received a screenshot of an e-mail from Atlantic Bank presumably sent to Hartin confirming that a company called Ad Vendors International had in fact sent her $37,555.00 USD. The Bank then requested an adequate source of funds in order to release the sum.
According to Hartin's PR team that money is now in attorney OJ Elrington's accounts from there the claim is that Elrington was responsible to make sure that the funds were paid. That declaration is affixed with the Biodata page of Hartin's passport and signed by Elrington, Hartin, and the Commissioner of the Supreme Court.
Tonight, they are also telling us that Hartin, contrary to our information, isn't being detained for an unpaid fine but instead for allegedly forging a travel document which she maintains is a legitimate one.
We've also received a copy of a statutory declaration in which Hartin states that her legal representative had confirmed to her that once the sum of $75,000BZD was paid she would no longer have travel restrictions and would be, quote: " allowed to exit the country."
She then reiterates that she had sent the entirety of the said sum $75,000.00 to her Attorney Elrington before expressing her desire to leave the country and claiming that quote: "my legal advice is that there are no further restrictions on such." end quote.
That document was then signed by Hartin and a justice of the peace but notably not by OJ Elrington.
