Man suing Police, Unicomer for malicious prosecution
Stanwick Rose
On Wednesday, Stanwick Rose filed a lawsuit for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment against the Attorney General of Guyana; the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP); the Commissioner of Police; Police Constable Mark Griffith and Unicomer Incorporated.
The claim seeking more than $10 million in damages was filed by Attorney-at-Law Donavon Rangiah.
Rose, a former cashier of Unicomer, was charged with two separate indictable offences of ‘larceny by clerk or servant’, contrary to Section 184 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act Chapter 8:01 in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on November 14, 2022.

It was alleged that Rose, being a clerk or servant of Unicomer, stole from Unicomer, $4,697,747 between December 1, 2018, and January 14, 2022.
Further, it was alleged that he stole $500,000 from the business on December 31, 2021.
Rose appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weaver who, in dismissing the charges against him on June 6, held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case.
Consequently, Rose is now seeking compensation for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment.
