Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 36844, member: 636"] A missing court interpreter stopped the money laundering trial of former Power Minister Saleh Mamman on Friday. The Federal High Court in Abuja had planned to continue a trial-within-trial that day. Prosecutor A.O. Mohammed told the court the official interpreter was away on assignment. He asked the judge for a new date when the interpreter could attend. Defense lawyer Emmanuel Hassan agreed with the request for a delay. Judge James Omotosho moved the case to May 8 and 9 for the next hearing. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission brought Mamman to court on 12 charges. These charges claim the former minister was involved in conspiracy and money laundering during his time in office. [/QUOTE]
