Records showing Kirk Roberts transferred thousands of dollars to two sailors he allegedly contracted to bring drugs to Bermuda were introduced in Supreme Court on Tuesday as his conspiracy trial continued after two days of legal arguments.

The former Bermuda champion powerboat racer is accused - with Alphonso Holder, 44, of St. Vincent - of conspiring to import marijuana in December, 2000.

Earlier in the trial, now in its third week, German sailor Heinz (Henry) Golembeck testified that he formed an agreement with Roberts to smuggle the drugs on his sailboat Never Come Back.

Golembeck said he and Bermudian Winston Robinson sailed to the Caribbean to pick up the drugs but attempted purchases in Antigua, Nevis, and off Haiti failed, before the group were eventually successful in buying marijuana in St. Vincent months later.

Throughout that period, Golembeck said Roberts would periodically send the two men money for expenses using both his own name and names of others.

As Director of Public Prosecutions Khamisi Tokunbo continued the Crown's case yesterday, a stack of transaction records from the Western Union office in the Capital G Bank were introduced as evidence.

Mr. Tokunbo had Capital G manager Beatrice Signor describe two of the transactions included in detail.

"All the forms relate to Kirk Thomas Roberts, Heinz Golembeck or Winston Robinson?" Mr. Tokunbo asked.

"Yes," Mrs. Signor replied.

She told the court the bank produced the records after receiving a Police production order in January. 2001.

Mr. Tokunbo established Roberts sent $1,800 to Robinson in St. Maarten on July 29, 2000, and an undisclosed amount to Golembeck in the Bahamas, on September 26, 2000, under his own name.

In cross-examination, Roberts' defence lawyer Mark Pettingill, asked whether the majority of the transfers were for small amounts in "the hundreds".

"Most of them were under $2,000," Mrs. Signor replied.

The court also heard from a Police officer yesterday who claimed Roberts made incriminating comments following his arrest on December 27, 2000.

P.c. William Patterson said Roberts asked him what he was being arrested for as he was being escorted to the jail area in Hamilton Police Station.

"I replied 'conspiracy to import controlled drugs'," P.c. Patterson said.

"He replied: 'You arrested my wife. Now you arrest me again. What drugs? You ain't even got the drug. You are arresting me without the drug. I've been doing this 20 years. You young jokers don't know what you are doing.'"

But Mr. Pettingill suggested Roberts actually said "you've been doing this 20 years", to Police, rather than "I've been doing this 20 years".

"You see the subtle difference?" Mr. Pettingill asked.

"That was not what he said, my lady," P.c. Patterson replied.

Mr. Pettingill established that Roberts was not asked about this comment in any of the Police interviews which followed his arrest.

But Mr. Tokunbo asked what Roberts had answered to Police questions during those interviews.

"Roberts answered 'no comment'," P.c. Patterson replied.
