Last week Friday, we told you how COLA's Geovannie Brackett and Nedal McLaren, the private prosecutors in the Elvin Penner case, have gone back to the
Supreme Court to appeal his acquittal for the passport and immigration offences which they brought against him.
They want Chief Justice Benjamin to overturn Magistrate Aretha Ford's decision. She refused to call Allen Whylie, the Commissioner of Police, to
disclose the police file into the investigation of the Citizen Kim Passport scandal. Today, when he met Whylie at a police event, we asked him if he is
prepared disclose the police evidence in the case if the court orders him to:

"Are you prepared if that is the decision of the court to disclosure of information on the Penner investigation?"
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"That is a private matter as you said. The outcome will decide what ever takes place. I am a law officer, I will always obey the law and the court and
that has nothing to do with me what is taking place. Whatever is decided will be complied."

"You're ordered to investigate Penner, is that still going on? Have you stopped at all? Where are the files?"
Allen Whylie
"The investigation had commence. It has continued. The passport was retrieved. I think we are at the stage where the investigation is completed in
terms of all the directives the director of public prosecution had given to the police to do. As is the norm, that file will be sent back to the DPP,
if it has not been sent already."
