A Bermudian man accused of laundering a record-breaking $1.7 million in dirty money in St Vincent this week has applied for the case to be thrown out of court.Winston Franklin Robinson, from Sandys, has been in custody since his arrest in April 2008, when the money was found on the yacht Jo-Tobin. He and another man are alleged to have sailed the yacht from Bermuda to St Vincent and the Grenadines.According to The Searchlight newspaper in St Vincent, the cash bust is the largest in the history of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States.The trial of Mr Robinson, who is aged in his late 60s, began in August along with two other men accused in the case; Trinidadian Kent Andrews and Antonio (Que Pasa) Gellizeau, of St Vincent and the Grenadines.According to St Vincent's Director of Public Prosecutions, Colin Williams, Mr Gellizeau owned the Jo-Tobin and Mr Robinson sailed it from St Lucia to Bermuda.Mr Robinson and Mr Andrews are later said to have sailed the yacht from Bermuda to Bequia in the Grenadines, where Mr Gellizeau was on board another of his vessels, the Orion.Police detained the Jo-Tobin on April 5, 2008, searched the vessel, and found some money concealed close to the water tank. Mr Robinson told them there was more money to be found close to the other water compartment and roughly $1.7 million was recovered.The Crown closed its case on Friday, November 25, and lawyers for the three accused men then put forward submissions to Chief Magistrate Sonya Young that the defendants have no case to answer.Ms Young will make a ruling on the issue when the case returns to court on January 16, 2012.Mr Gellizeau is charged with concealing $1,733,463 on the Jo-Tobin which represents the proceeds of criminal conduct. He is also charged with bringing the money into St Vincent and the Grenadines on the yacht. Both Mr Andrews and Mr Robinson are charged with concealing the cash on the yacht knowing or suspecting it represented another person's proceeds of criminal conduct. They are also charged with bringing the money into St Vincent and the Grenadines. Winston Robinson is further charged with entering St Vincent and the Grenadines without notifying the Comptroller of Customs of the intended time of arrival. They deny all the charges.
