New fraud charges were this morning laid against Antigua’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Anthony Armstrong, who was arrested and charged in connection with three land transactions.
It was disclosed Thursday morning, when the matter was mentioned in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, that three counts, each, of uttering forged documents and forgery were laid against the accused.
The clerk of the court informed the judge that the investigator explained that the new charges arose after further review of the case file.
Additionally, she said the investigator informed that the charges were initially not laid because she was rushing to get the matter before the court.

Charging that the police did a “rush job”, Armstrong’s lead attorney, Hugh Wildman, questioned why the charges were not laid and suggested that the investigator be impeached.
