Police investigation, The Royal Gazette has learned.

Police revealed yesterday they had received a file from the Attorney General's Chambers describing "possible criminal conduct''.

"The matter is being investigated, and these investigations are continuing,'' said Police spokesman Insp. Coghlin Gibbons.

The investigation follows the December 1994 Supreme Court case in which Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade ordered Mr. Peniston to file a plan for repayment of debts running into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

During the court case, official receiver Mr. Mark Diel said Mr. Peniston appeared to have committed four charges -- perjury, forgery, contempt and bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, The Royal Gazette can disclose Mr. Peniston is set to get married in England, where he is studying law.

The wedding in Buckingham is believed to be fixed for July 1.

Yesterday Mr. Peniston's bride-to-be, Miss Morayo Atoki, from Lagos, Nigeria, declined to comment on the wedding.

Speaking from her home in Redshaw Close, Buckingham, she said: "I don't think it appropriate for you to speak to me.'' A message left on Monday for Mr. Peniston at Buckingham University -- where he is studying -- had not been answered by last night.

Mr. Peniston's plans following his marriage are unclear.

The Royal Gazette has acquired a copy of an invitation to the couple's wedding buffet reception at 3 p.m. at Bourton Centre in Buckingham.

Attached to the invitation was a card, headed "Wedding Gifts'', which stated: "The couple will be shortly relocating overseas.'' Mr. Peniston's movements are likely to be of interest to creditors who met in February this year after the Supreme Court case.

At that meeting, creditors shot down Mr. Peniston's scheme for paying more than $800,000 in debts.

Twenty-five creditors voted against the scheme; one was in favour.

Afterwards, Mr. Diel told The Royal Gazette the scheme was "unreliable'', and creditors wanted to know how Mr. Peniston was able to go to England with his debts unmet.

During last year's court hearing, the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade told Mr. Peniston his file would be turned over to the Attorney General's chambers for possible criminal acts.

Earlier, Mr. Peniston had broken down while reading a statement admitting he used money he obtained from selling jewellery and cashing two pension cheques to pay tuition fees for law school in England.

"It is impossible for anyone to understand the very fragile point I am at, at this stage.

Mr. Peniston told Mrs. Justice Wade that he would like the opportunity to finish his education "so I can meet my obligations honourably''.

Yesterday, a spokesman for the AG's Chambers confirmed a file had been sent to Police.

For his part, Mr. Diel said: "At this stage we are unable to do anything until Mr. Peniston's return from England.'' At least some of Mr. Peniston's problems stem from a dispute he had with wealthy Scottish businessman Mr. Robert Thomson.

He lent Mr. Peniston $80,000 and later Mr. Thomson became a partner of Mr.

Peniston in Bermuda Travel & Shipping Ltd.

The two men formed the glass-bottom boat firm Bermuda Vacations, but its income fell short of what they had hoped.

The firms went bust in 1991, leaving huge debts, and led to a series of court battles between the two former partners.
