The company owns television station and the Grenada Informer news outlet.

Nelson recently resigned from the company but it is understood before resigning the accounting and marketing staff at the company realised that there were a significant amount of financial matters outstanding, and upon investigation it was found that Nelson had personal information which could have cleared up the outstanding matters.

He was summoned to a meeting with the company on Wednsday April 16th and it was during that meeting the company made a decision to hand over the matter to the Royal Grenada Police Criminal Investigating Department.

On Good Friday morning he was charged with two counts of Stealing by reason of employment a total of EC$15,140.64 and EC$253.64; Forgery and Uttering a false document. The Police Force is continuing to investigate the matter and there may be more charges on Nelson, who once worked in St Kitts and Nevis. He is also the owner of a marketing company called “Optimum Solutions” and it is believed that most of the missing funds were diverting to the account of Optimum Solutions.

He is expected to make his first court appearance at the St George’s #1 court on Tuesday in Grenada.
