BUSINESSMAN RODNEY LEVI WILKINSON will have to wait until next week to secure his freedom.

The former chief executive officer of GEMS Hotels was granted $1.5 million bail on Thursday but according to reports, his sureties were still busy today getting paperwork ready, in order to sign his bail.

Wilkinson of Friendly Hall, Jackman’s, St Michael is accused of committing 67 fraud offences involving close to $4 million.

When he first appeared before the court two weeks ago, he was remanded to HMP Dodds but was ordered release on bail by Justice Maureen Crane-Scott in a High Court bail application.

The owner of Executive Car Rentals and Premium Pre-Owned Vehicles Inc. is accused of defrauding a number of car dealers and finance companies. (TS)
