Not Guilty Plea: Threatening Minister DeSilva
This morning [Aug.4] 51-year-old Richard Foggo appeared in Magistrates Court, and was charged with threatening behaviour and threatening words. He pleaded not guilty on both counts.
The incident is said to have occurred August 2nd at the Cabinet Office, with the alleged threats made against Minister of Health Zane DeSilva.
Mr Foggo got bail in the amount of $2,000 plus one surety, and is due to reappear in October 2011. The Judge also ordered him not to interfere in any way with the complainant.
The alleged incident occurred outside the Cabinet Office on Front Street on Tuesday [Aug.2]. After the incident a police spokesperson said, “At approx 3.20pm today, Police responded to a reported disturbance at the Cabinet Office.”
“On their arrival, it was alleged that a 51 year male from Hamilton Parish had acted in a threatening manner towards a minister. The male was arrested and taken to Hamilton Station.”

Years ago, the Minister or the MP. would take you to lunch or buy you a drink and talk about it. They took the wrong “male” to the station.
Years ago people had shackles on heir feet and hands. So whats your point Terry
Bwahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Your the only one with “shackles on heir feet and hands”.
Read your history, really read it. This is Bermuda not the “South” et al in America or AFRICA where their people sold them.
Always an as@hole gotta bring race into it.
The only shackles you have are self imposed with a vaccum between your ears that are plagued by denial.
Name a culter this does not apply too.
LOL
Heard that!!
@its me
you are a joke.
To go out on bernews and post this in such a blunt nature is so saddening for you, but the hopes for equality also.
Good on you though! get that aggression out!!! p*ssy
@its me: when will you get over your past? let it go. nobody alive on this island put anyone in shackles. whats YOUR point??
you ever heard of mantel shackles…most have it.
*mental
and no most of us do not have it. There are however quite a lot of people who make dumb decisions and try and blame it on the fact that their Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents weren’t treated equally.
No he meant mantal lol
Years ago, and also today … not all criminals get arrested.
He was just mad that Zane sold his soul to the preto.
I am glad he did it as the Minister thinks he is above the law, and the law being the very people that put him in the seat he enjoys.
Why would you think he is above the law? He is being trained by Dr.Brown isn’t he?
Terry, the only A&SHOLE is you and your kind, that continue to spew your nasty comments on blogs like these. You try to make light of some situations with your rhetoric, but it only shows people like me that you are ignorant. But its all good, because maybe, just maybe one day you’ll see the light and come over.
Luke you are my Son.
No thanks ‘lens’. I can see right through you and I need not see the light as you use me all the time. It’s you that is in darkness.
Mathew, Mark and John are cool. Luke, nah takes after his unknown father like most men in Bermuda…..
Manz prublam his…heez haid two many cold buds ann hits hall gawn too heez haid………sell out……………………..
I heard this man was smimming in the Mangrove toilet on Sunday, and some sea lice pentrated his errrs and drove him fullish.
Mr. Foggo was and maybe still is the head of the BDA Trucker’s Association.
He is the gentleman that has complained profusely about Dr. Brown permitting oversized trucks on the road (which were mainly used by Correia Construction and Island Construction) which essentially took away much business from local truckers. Their concerns were brushed off by the powers that be and many truckers have felt the pain ever since.
That is (I am assuming) why Mr. Foggo is apparently very upset with Min. Desilva.
You got the “min.” part right, ‘Tired’……..
Rat traps catch rats. Cell phone records will be the demise of many of these friends of the family…..
Family:
I do not understand how you can support harrasement in any shape or form? It does not matter what Min Desilva has supposed to have done – - it does not give anyone the right to harrass him – plain and simple.
Any further to my point, this gentleman has been on an apparent personal attack, harrasing several politians, civil servants and government departments.
No one deserves to be harrassed.

those who know understand
@Terry. “takes after his unknown father like most men in Bermuda”
Would you care to elaborate on this in at least a somewhat coherent manner or just shut the hell up instead of offering further proof that you are not much more than an ignorant, possibly inbred moron posing as a Bermudian? Your choice.
Yes Mate….You answered your own questions that you addressed too me. If you can’t read bewtween lines, I suggest you stop doing them or whatever else your doing.
Define “possibly inbred moron posing as a Bermudian”…….really…do.
Is that like a crack head that has a bandage on their scalp and that how you define them…..bwhaaaaa
Ter·ry 1. adj. Pile fabric with loops uncut. 2. n fabric. 3. n. Possibly inbred moron posing as a Bermudian. 4. Asswipe.
Define “possibly inbred moron posing as a Bermudian”…….really…do.
Is that like a crack head that has a bandage on their scalp and that how you define them…..bwhaaaaa
If the shoe fits, or in this case the bandage fits, wear it! It may help prevent what little brains you have left from leaking out, but a bandage on your head is like the Pee el Pee asking for suggestions – too little too late. Sell your computer then go buy a clue.
nice one
Actually, I feel sorry for you. Your a confused Bermudian or as you say ‘an inbred moron’.
But thats ok. As for “clue” I would suggest that you stick with BIAW or the Workers voice. Lashing out at me only proves the frustration you deal with. There is help, just reach out. Thats all it takes. Take comfort that I think of you all the time and pray that you will regain some semblance and not attack without a weapon. Your words are like water on a ‘Docs’ back…..
Ali Coxba………………………….
I have heard that this “Terry” is a former Bermuda police officer. That can’t be true!!
And I heard that your a Senator in the Goverment (n) of Bermuda. Tell me it ain’t so……
As for “that can’t be true”, all I can say is …I can’t believe your a Senator.
Wow must have hit a nerve for you to respond. I tell you what, go give Zane a hug and tell him his bull-dozer is on the next ship….bwahaaaaaaaaaa
First of all Terrycloth you are incapable of steady reasoned thought. You prove that every time you switch between one persona and another. Be consistent! Show dedication! Learn how to spell!
I did not lash out at you, I merely asked you to expand upon your comment “takes after his unknown father like most men in Bermuda” and your response was “Yes Mate….You answered your own questions that you addressed too me. If you can’t read bewtween lines, I suggest you stop doing them or whatever else your doing.” [sic] so for the benefit of all others on here who are not privy to the answers I allegedly gave to myself, I once again ask you to please tell us why you assume most men in Bermuda don’t know who their father is. Are you Bermudian? Not that it matters, my father isn’t, but to make statements like that you have to be, otherwise it is very disrespectful to Bermuda and Bermudians.
“Take comfort that I think of you all the time and pray that you will regain some semblance and not attack without a weapon.”
Some semblance of what? Come on Terrycloth at least know the definition of the words you’re going to use to attack with. We went through word definitions earlier, remember? Terrycloth the only weapon I have ever carried is my brain, and it’s always fully loaded and always on unlike yourself you’ve never had it and never will. Change the channel to a more kid-oriented debate where you might have a chance of coming in third, and if you study hard you might do okay in the spelling bee as well. Actually forget it. You’re a no-hoper so just go drink some rum or whatever it is losers like you engage themselves in.
“losers”…….Get a life dood.
i got a$shole taken out of past posts, guess bernews agrees wit terry
do it every
time or not at all
This looks like it’s about two people and not the topic.
The samll truckers got screwed by doc and Zane plain and simple, they are pissed!
ALL truckers mad at PLP, are still going to vote them in? I really hope you either don’t vote or find another party to support. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!
This isn’t simply a case of small trucks, versus big trucks, it is about how politicians combined efforts with business, and worked together illegally to drain the economy. The public needs to be aware of just how much of those cost overruns were made by transport, excavation, and the like. The public needs to know how the Minister of Transport/ Premier set the stage, for special interests to have nearly exclusive access to capitol projects, all of whoch came in overbudgeted. The public needs in depth information on this strange new Bermuda Triangle, and their connection with our economic drain. Richard Foggo has plenty of that info, and they are working to silence him. Zane, nor Corriera,nor the Minister have come forth and publicly challenged anyone to prove their allegations, nor have they even publicly defended their alleged innocence. There have however been plenty of elusive actions, and avoidance, even outright attempts at silencing. I would like to see how they are going to silence Richrd, now that he has to go to trial and defend himself. Bravo! That’s a perfect way to get the evidence that he may have heard in court! Since one of the persons involved has key interests in this newspaper I doubt that even this will be posted, but I will like to let them know that it is copied, and will be posted en masse along with a mention of their censorship in many other forums. To be fair they are always welcome to publicly challenge even shoot down everything I am saying. Believe me, I would love to be wrong in this case!@ Bernews… I saved the whole page as proof that I submitted it.
