AN ATTORNEY, on suspension, has been jailed for 14 days for failing to repay $109,000 to a San Juan finance manager for the purchase of US currency in 2022.

Justice Frank Seepersad made the order on April 14, committing Kavita Crystal Persad to the Women’s Prison in Golden Grove, Arouca, finding her in contempt for breaching two previous court orders.

The judge also gave the court’s marshals the power to arrest Persad, of Old Factory Road, Piarco, to take her to prison to serve her term of simple imprisonment.
