Superintendent Harry 'Bungles' Daley's curfew order was removed when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

He is facing six counts of extortion and six counts of breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act.

His attorney, Valerie Neita-Robertson, told the court that the curfew order was making it difficult for him to work. The Crown then indicated that it had no opposition to the request but wanted the reporting conditions to remain. Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown granted the request and removed the curfew order.

The allegations are that between May 2007 and July 2008, Daley collected a total of $65,000 from a businessman as protection money for a plaza at Ewarton, St Catherine. A report was made to the Anti-Corruption Unit in February and an investigation was conducted into the matter. Daley was allegedly held collecting $15,000. He was held during a sting operation on Arnold Road, Kingston.

The Crown also alleges that it has video and audio recordings to prove its case against Daley.

A trial date should have been set at yesterday's hearing, however, the defence requested another mention date. The case will again appear on November 11. Daley's bail was extended.
