In a press release, dated September 9, issued by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau stated that Verde was arrested by complaint for his alleged interference with commerce by means of extortion and attempted extortion.

He was later charged for these alleged offenses and it is understood that he pled “not guilty.”

“It is, therefore, not known at this time the nature of the charge or whether it is related to Verde’s employment with the Government of Belize,” GOB says.

The Government says that as more information becomes available,  Verde’s employment status with the Government of Belize will be put before the Public Services Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations for the Public Services for consideration and decision.
