Op­po­si­tion MP for Pointe-a-Pierre David Lee has been hit with charges of mis­be­hav­iour in pub­lic of­fice and Con­spir­a­cy to de­fraud the gov­ern­ment. The charges are said to be re­lat­ed to the pur­chase and sale of a Mer­cedes-Benz.

Lee was ques­tioned by po­lice last month in con­nec­tion with the in­ci­dent.

Speak­ing briefly to the me­dia af­ter at the Wa­ter­front In­ter­na­tion­al Wa­ter­front Tow­er C, Lee said sim­ply, “I will give de­tails over the week­end. This is PNM at its best.”

When asked why he would say that he replied again, “I will say more lat­er.”

He then left in a wait­ing ve­hi­cle.
