Marvin Dames, the Free National Movement’s candidate for Mount Moriah, has formally severed connections with a former business partner currently under investigation by American law enforcement for alleged drug offenses. The prominent political figure released an official statement confirming his awareness of the arrest in Broward County, Florida, involving an individual with whom he and his spouse had established a business relationship earlier this year.
The former Minister of National Security emphasized that neither he nor his wife possessed any awareness of, participation in, or financial gain from the purported illegal activities connected to their associate. Dames explicitly stated that they never authorized, engaged in, or endorsed any form of criminal behavior throughout their business dealings.
Drawing upon his extensive background as a former high-ranking officer within the Royal Bahamas Police Force and his tenure as Deputy Police Commissioner, Dames affirmed his commitment to due process. He declared his intention to refrain from speculation regarding the ongoing investigation while pledging complete cooperation with any legitimate inquiries from Bahamian or United States authorities. Dames previously held the crucial National Security portfolio during the Minnis administration that commenced in 2017, adding significance to his current stance on legal compliance.
