A Southampton man who was pulled from a plane by armed Canadian police in September last year and denied entry will launch his case against Bermuda Police in Supreme Court tomorrow.

Albert Santucci, 45, says Police sent details of spent convictions to authorities abroad which made it impossible for him to start mortuary studies in North America.

He says he missed a whole term and claims he is the victim of a Police vendetta.

Mr. Santucci will argue all his convictions were spent after he graduated from Drug Court in August last year by successfully undergoing rehabilitation.

He said he had been shown a copy of his past convictions which had been faxed to Canada while he was in mid-flight but according to the rules of Drug Court his spent convictions can only be revealed with his permission.

He told various departments in Government have asked him to drop his case. ?But I am not (going to) because of what happened to me,? he said. ?My record was supposed to be expunged.?

Mr. Santucci said three letters written to Home Affairs Minister Randy Horton have been in vain as he was simply referred back to Police.
