PARAMARIBO – The Public Prosecutor’s Office has demanded that the lawyer who is on trial for pulling out a gun and threatening a policeman...

at a police station be sentenced to 12 months in prison.
It also wants the defendant to be given 2 years’ probation. The prosecutor made it clear that the lawyer endangered the lives of the policeman and other people who were present at the police station. The Public Prosecutor’s Office deems the offense very serious especially given the fact that the defendant is not only a lawyer but also a former police officer. The defense attorney and the prosecutor are scheduled to give their closing statements the next time the defendant has to appear in court.
