Another Grenada bank collapses in scandalous circumstances

Long after the scandalous failures of all of Grenada’s more than 40 offshore banks with heavy losses to depositors, one of the jurisdiction’s local banks has gone the same route, the principal difference being that, this time, the victims will include locals, not just foreigners.
Capital Bank International Ltd., which began operating as a bank in 1988, went into receivership by order of the Grenada High Court on February 15, 2008 following an application from the Minister of Finance, Keith Mitchell, who is also the country’s Prime Minister. David Holukoff, the Grenada-based Managing Director of Kroll Associates UK Limited, was appointed Receiver.
