THE $400-million Manchester Municipal Corporation (MPC) fraud trial ended on Friday, May 15, 2020 with the conviction of main accused 35-year-old Sanja Elliott, the corporation's former deputy superintendent of road and works; his wife, Tasha-gaye Goulbourne-Elliott; two former employees of the corporation, David Harris, secretary/manager and acting chief executive officer, and Kendale Roberts, temporary works overseer; as well as Dwayne Sibblies, a former employee of Sanja Elliott.
Your Honour has heard the unshaken evidence of Detective Corporal Fabian Parnell, his attempts to investigate whether Mr Elliott's assertions were true relative to him being a used car salesman and a draftsman.
[36] The Crown humbly submits that Mr Elliott was not engaged in any draftsman work, neither was he engaging in any used car sales.
[40] Miss Darcia Roache's evidence is that Mr Elliott did not make an application for moonlighting, which is obtaining permission to do additional work outside his employment at the council.
[42] Your Honour should consider why the witnesses of fact came to court, all of them with consistent accounts as to their interaction with Mr Elliott, and likewise, consistent accounts in relation to Mr Elliott's conduct.
