Two drama practitioners from the famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre have this week visited Gibraltar to carry out workshops with students from both Bayside and Westside Schools. Sponsored by the Kusuma Trust. The visit took place from the 4th to the 8th of November and saw the students explore issues of Shakespearean stagecraft and genre, while also working on specific plays.
In response to the Government’s latest statement on Credit Finance Company Ltd, a GSD statement has today noted that ‘it is so absurd, that it only needs to be stated to be rejected outright. Credit Finance Co Limited is not a bank nor is it managed at arms length from the Government. The Moneylenders Act creates a licensing regime in respect of money lending where the licensing authority is the Chief Minister himself and Credit Finance Co Limited is not regulated by the FSC or any independent regulator.
Shortly after midnight yesterday evening, RGP officers arrested a local man on suspicion of being in possession of a commercial quantity of tobacco, dangerous driving and for failing to stop when signalled by a police officer.
In two separate cases this week, RGP Officers of both the Criminal Investigation Department and the Serious Crime Unit have arrested three local men and a locally resident British national on accounts of suspicion of theft, false accounting and fraud.
The first instance saw both a 34-year-old local man arrested on suspicion of theft and false accounting, following the theft of approximately £16,000 from the Government of Gibraltar. A 27-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of Handling Stolen Goods. Both men were released on bail pending further inquiries.
