Bungles Tapes Played In Court Yesterday
Alleged corrupt cop Superintendent Harry ‘Bungles’ Daley appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday, where his corruption / extortion trial resumed. The only thing reportedly missing in court yesterday, was popcorn and drinks, as the prosecution played potentially damning videos of Daley at various times as he was interacting with the complainant Tafari Clarke (who was wearing a hidden camera).
On the videos, Daley is heard issuing death threats and complaining about his alleged protection money being “short”. As the videos were played, Daley reportedly sat stone-faced, showing no emotion at all, and watched along with all in attendance in the court room.
Some quotes attributed to Daley on the recordings:
“Tell him say a mi him fi call … a Spanish Town mi come from. Mi born and grow a Treadway… even if mi no deh yah, a me run yah so. Tell him say if him want gunshot him fi f*** around same way.” (said when Clarke told him that another man was trying to extort him after Daley had been transferred from the area).
“Yuh no easy. Yuh short mi dah month yah.” (said when Clarke handed him $15,000 instead of $20,000)
The trial continues today.
