Last night, we told you all about John Saldvivar's latest imbroglio. A document from the company's registry shows that in August of 2015, he and accused murderer William Danny Mason became business partners in a business named Belmopan Bandits Sporting Club Limited. Now, this is after Saldivar had denied being Mason's business partner. In his defence, Saldivar says he cut off all relations with Mason one month after that business was incorporated and says the company is now defunct.
But, the Prime Mister had said it would be another story if he found out that Mason and Saldivar were business partners - as had been claimed.
And, tonight, that story is unfolding, as The Office of the Prime Minister today announced that Minister of Defence, John Saldivar, "has been put on one week's leave of absence." That's a first for any cabinet minister, and according to a release, it's because, quote, "Saldivar has said that he took steps after September 2015 to put an end to the football business arrangement which had been formalized between him and Mr. Danny Mason via the August 2015 registration of a company in which they both became shareholders. The week's leave is to enable the Prime Minister to take legal advice on whether the steps the Minister took were enough to effectively sever the business relationship established between the Minister and Mr. Mason by the formation of the company." End quote.
We'll keep following the story.
