Businessman Andre Curtis this morning appeared in Magistrates’ Court to face two charges.

Curtis — Premier Dr. Ewart Brown’s political campaign manager — is charged with operating an investment company without a licence between March and December 2007.

The 43-year-old boss of Harvest Investment Holdings is also charged with making a statement, promise or forecast which he knew to be false between August and December 2008.

He did not enter a plea and was bailed to reappear in court for mention on March 3.
