Dominican attorney, Clement Joseph, has been appointed the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) following the retirement of Jamaican, Anthony Armstrong a few years ago, amid criminal charges for professional misconduct brought by the General Legal Council in Jamaica.
Armstrong, who had held the position of DPP since the early 2000s, retired in December 2022 after the Council ruled that he had acted “contrary to the laws of Jamaica when he signed as a witness to a document for someone who was not physically present” in a matter relating to the sale of three properties.
Armstrong has since appealed the ruling. In 2022, he was charged by the police and released on half a million dollars (One Jamaica dollar=US$0.008 cents) bail with surety.
