There is insufficient evidence supporting a narcotics officer's claim she was pressured by colleagues to perjure herself in the Ellsworth Wilson drug trial, the Attorney General Chambers has concluded.

Wilson's trial was delayed while Police conducted an internal investigation into the officer's allegations.

The trial is now set to begin on Monday.

Wilson, of Mount Hill, Pembroke, is charged with possession of diamorphine intended for supply and handling diamorphine intended for supply. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Deputy Police Commissioner Jean Jacques Lemay oversaw Detective Inspector Stephen Shaw's investigation into the officer's allegations, Police media relations said.

"Certain allegations deemed very serious were made by the Police officer against other Police officers,'' Police said.

The officer who made the allegations was not named.

Attorney General's Chambers concluded no criminal charges should be brought, Police added.

On Friday, May 16 the Deputy Police Commissioner received a letter of complaint from the narcotics officer who made the allegations.

Three days later, the Deputy Police Commissioner received a letter from the officer's solicitors alleging their client was repeatedly being asked by fellow officers to commit perjury in Wilson's trial.

The letter also suggested that the solicitors received evidence to support the allegations that their client was being asked to commit perjury and or to pervert the course of justice in the criminal trial, Police said.

Wilson is represented by the law firm Marshall & Co.

Lawyer Tim Marshall said it was "inappropriate'' for the Police to release any statement on the matter when they know the trial starts Monday. "The firm of Marshall & Co. represents Mr. Ellsworth. We do not represent the officer.

We knew nothing about the complaint until May 20,'' he added.
