Former travel agent Vicky Boodram was discharged of more than 100 fraud charges after prosecutors repeatedly failed to file evidence against her.

Her discharge came during a virtual hearing before High Court Master Lisa Singh-Phillip on September 19.

State prosecutor Elaine Green, SC, admitted that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had missed three deadlines to submit witness statements and other filings. She told the court it would be unfair to continue proceedings against Boodram under the circumstances. “I don’t see the need to clog the list. We are not yet ready,” Green said.
