Wingo's Trial Continues: Prosecutor Presents Evidence

​The trial of former hardliner Legonian Prime Minister continued yesterday in the Royal High Court.

Wingo was produced in court under heavy escort as there were threats of a rescue attempt by his supporters. 

The Royal Prosecutor had a difficult case to present after its key witness, the notorious gang leader El Chapone, was gunned down recently.

The Royal Prosecutor argued that many paper evidences have proven Wingo's corrupt practices. A document produced by the prosecuting team shown that Wingo saved about $1.2 billion Bricks dollars for his real estate business when he cut the tax rate for corporate firms and the rich.

The lawyer for Wingo, King Counsel Kenny Starr,  argued that  Wingo should be released on bail. Starr also said that he would present a case for the case against Wingo to be dropped as there is no credible witness to testify against Wingo.

The presiding judge disagreed with the defence argument and directed Wingo to be detained in the city's detention centre.

Meanwhile, the Royal Police confirmed that the five prosecutors on Wingo's case will be given police protection. 

"We have received credible reports that the prosecutors are being targeted by Brickobar, the notorious drug dealer who took over from El Chapone in the El Chapone cartel,"  said a police spokesman.
