Superintendent of Police Harry "Bungles" Daley will know today if he will be given bail.

He is facing six counts of extortion and six counts of breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act involving a total of $65,000. The Crown is alleging that it has video and audio recordings to prove its case against Daley. Daley appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday when his lawyers Valerie Neita-Robertson and Carolyn Reid applied for bail. Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown will hand down his decision today on the bail application. Daley was held during a sting operation last week Thursday on Arnold Road, Kingston.

The allegations are that between May 2007 to 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 this year and an investigation was conducted into the matter. Daley was allegedly held last week Thursday collecting $15,000. Acting Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Dirk Harrison and Crown Counsel Jeremy Taylor opposed bail on the grounds that Daley was a flight risk. The prosecutors said further that there was the likelihood of interference with the witnesses.
