Willock charged with forgery, misusing office
Former House Speaker Julian Willock was arrested and charged with multiple criminal offences today, July 4, 2024, as confirmed by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF).
The charges stem from two separate investigations involving allegations of visa waiver misconduct and document forgery dating between 2018 and 2022. According to the RVIPF, the first investigation relates to the issuance of visa waivers, while the second concerns a forged document that was presented to the BVI Immigration Department in 2022.
Willock, 56, a resident of Sea Cows Bay, faces several charges, including one count of a public official using his office for gratification.
He is also charged with conspiracy to provide false information to a public servant and to utter a forged document.
Following the charges, Willock was granted bail at $50,000, with a scheduled appearance at the Magistrate’s Court on September 12.
The RVIPF said his arrest followed an extensive 18-month investigation by the COI Police Investigation Team. Given the sub-judice status of the matter, the RVIPF has stated it will make no further comments at this stage.
Willock was previously arrested in January 2022 on what he described as trumped-up charges at the time.
The former Speaker said at the time that he was questioned by six ‘Caucasian United Kingdom (UK) officers’ and sent on his way without any charges. “They claimed I was being investigated on suspicion of Human Trafficking, because of some VISA waivers I had obtained over the years,” Willock disclosed.

Why the DPP will have no new staff or increased budget, we wouldn’t want successful prosecutions when all our politicians are the ones in the dock!
Speaking from personal experience with that “$hem” I can confirm that he’s been misusing his position in gov for over a decade. And hopefully, now is karma’s time to step in!
Recall that the esteemed one was charged for Labour and Immigration infractions something like 6 or 7 years ago…
He was then sacked from his prestigious position as a Permanent Secretary for not disclosing, as was required by law, his ownership of a news website.
The party couldn’t put the esteemed one forward as a candidate 5 and a half years ago because of that… “Look! Their candidate is a known scofflaw!”
No coincidence that the esteemed one has been so vocal about the injustice of the CoI and opposing transparency in government.
Uh-oh!
Julian is innocent, like OJ was.
And the house of cards continues to tumble down! Enjoy spending some time with your fat friend Albert!
This could very well be another witch-hunt like what Donald Trump has been experiencing.
The only witch hunt here is the one willock and Andrew been hunting Myron for years …….now they both in hot water. Grandma say when u digging hole dig two… .

Will Wiggy’s case be heard in silence?
Best joke of this stressful day. Thanks for the laugh. The wigged on is on the canary site hollering at UK and commish. We have s problem in this place to call a spade a spade and cast blame. Nowhere in his rant did he address the charges. He need a cork to shut him up once and for all. Corruption in Tola is higher, greater and wider than we think.
Can the people of this country call on the UK to get us a public prosecutor because all these charges and the work to bring them will go to waste if the one we have is prosecuting the cases you want to wonder sometimes what is the winning price to pay for a case to get thrown out. This ya no normal
You Must Stop It!!!
LET’S HOPE HE RETAINS HIS GOOD FRIEND MYRON’S LAWFIRM TO DEFEND HIMSELF INSTEAD OF SILK
Willock we got your back just like Myron and the others this is another bogus case
An arrested former Speaker – classy!
especially after the Fahie episode.
The BVI is going from strength to strength!
It’s OK though, another beauty paegent or icon ceremony should sort this out.
“Free the wiggle”
Who paid the bill for legal fees that he was ordered to pay as well.
It was never paid but they (Af & his Gov’t buddies) made sure the Law Firms were paid using the tax payers $$$.
We (tax payers) should also sue his backside for our $$$$.
And who posted his bail?
That is not your business
But didn’t the authorities have Willock by the station last year? Wasn’t that something ti do with human trafficking or some such thing? I recall that they had taken his phone and computer? He had much to say at that time talking about the Caucasian officer(s) they had dealing with him.
Is this arrest for something different or the result of the completion of that investigation back then?
Read the article for answers to your questions.
This is why we need the UK police because they don’t take bribe from locals,hahaha what about the house in virgin Gorda that he allegedly using taxpayers money to rent to spend honeymoon with them Spanish mark link he up with,the next person who should get charged for human trafficking is mark for all them young girls he has working in the club without document.
Them police need getting changed jail and deported
I keep seeing my people getting lock up when them island man police here working with west and gun man we need to see some police getting charged
Did he pay the fine…toe one that was lodged against him for bypassing the chain of command ..thus occurred around the time of the COI
Wha you think the link up with nannie key is for. Want some money to play in, from a charity with a big backer, get $100.00 and pose donating a $2.00 book. Then they cry out how much they love the country. Nope nope, they love themselves and need ways to line their pocket
Wow! It seems like the dominoes are falling, wondered who’s next.
You mean the SVG CI who working for WB? The street know.
YESSSAIIII, that is corruption. Them need investigate that one!
Let’s see who pays his court fees this time!
Hopefully not my tax money
Idk why y’all didnt riot when government slip that under the rug
He there talking good about wade on that yellow site
If Andrew was unable to bribe customs boss at the time then why he went Miami? The plan would of been thwarted right there.
And if customs boss at the time didn’t accept why he didn’t go to police or the governor about it? If he did fat boi would be here in our hotel jail.
All them man hands dirty
Willock and government officials 1 no exception
Another w for the bvi
Hopefully dpp don’t make it lost…sigh
I wished the USA or UK packed them up and tried them in their courts cuz ours here issa joke but at least we got a smile out of it..
Speaker of House implicated by the Law of the country
Former Premier in jail in the UK
Influential members in the community implicated
Barge to chase speed boats involved in illegal activities
Millions given to farmers who are not farmers
Education scholarships given to students who never step inside a college door
Senior officials in government sent home
Pastors saying BVI is not corrupt
Well what is the definition of corruption.
Can we therefore police ourselves??? Shame on the BVI
Whether they black, red, orange, gray or green wrong is wrong.
U got a lot chat , we are curious as to how you are going to wiggle your asz outa dis one , with all the brains you got \\ let’s see you flex off on Them white boyz \\ OR you can get that tricky trini attorney to come and rescue you / only this time , you won’t be able to use our taxpayers money , like when you went on a rampage on mark in the HOA ( only your coach had the authority and used his position to get yosee u to behave yourself and \\\ looks like pumpkin will have you to himself finally . so there will be lots of flexing off up at castle BALO
Is saying )> hear ME – hear ME
Yellow site molding the headline in its own unique way and moderating the comments to suit.
What they cant seem to control and moderate though, are the likes..and Dislikes for that matter lol
These charges are weak willock will walk
The chickens who work at cr**tals! He sold out so J**es could continually bring in the chickens to work his club. Even during Covid they had fake paperwork saying the chickens had been vaccinated or quarantined when they were not. The doctor who signed all those papers name will come up soon too.
Witch hunt as expected keep your head up and on
We still voting for Julian Willock in district three
More charges will be added. More arrest is coming. Foy will not be going down for life and Gender change alone and quietly.So who all know they were involved in wrongs. Better start lawyering up and getting read of paper trail evidence like Bank Acc. Etc..
I would have arrested him for wearing that wig, he looked so foolish
from 1950s onward look what the bvi legislative council chambers building has become to. look back to 1950s in the bvi and look at the bvi today in 2024.
Yellow site editing comments. 36 comments on this site; 9 on that one, and all positive. Go Toad go!
be careful with the uk labour party. be careful with the uk general election and the uk politicians. there are issues in the british virgin islands with politics and economy and industry in reference to tax havens in the british virgin islands. there are issues in the uk parliament that would affect the british virgin islands relationship with the uk parliament and the uk politicians. something is wrong some where along the line on both sides of the coin.
you really know that dude good , and when anyone blogg touches him , he don’t post them , he is really tricky and evil , Trump ain’t got nothing on he
Nah / he gah he trini attorney OR silk / maybe velvet / but not MYRON 4 sure
Willock remains our bvi prince
What a tangled web we weave…..
It did occur to me during the COI hearings that quite a few (including the wiggedy wiggedy wiggedy whack) could be described with the Shakespearean prose “the lady doth protest too much”….more interestingly is that it seems that the more vocal and bellicose of those who appeared before and gave live testimony at the COI hearings are the ones who have been investigated/ charged/ imprisoned….coincidence??? maybe, but I think NOT.
At the end of the day he will have the benefit of due process and have the opportunity to defend himself against these charges. Sadly, irrespective of the outcome in this matter, the reputation of these beautiful VI that we hold dear continues to take a serious hit and be adversely impacted. No doubt this will augment our political and economic challenges as the specter of corruption not only grows but continues to materialize. Damage control as well as reputational management & repair are critical….
to be continued…
CSC next

Question
How many persons are being arrested and charged for murder?
@secret ways, Maybe you might need to assist the police by leading them to arrest those that are responsible or involved in the murders. How about that, not a bad idea, lets get them off the streets
How many persons are being arrested and charged for murder?
—————————————————
This place is a killers paradise whereby people get killed, and their murders remain unsolved. Reportedly there are over 100 unsolved murders in this tiny dot on the map.
When is the public going to see justice for all these cold files. Undoubtedly, killers are walking the streets amongst us and their victims are not resting in peace.
God forbid, you don’t want to get murdered anywhere, but if by bad luck you got unalive in this place, the changes of your killer literally getting away with murder is high. That’s a crying shame.
He should have been charged just wearing that wig. The boy look so st**od ! A f**l that is full of himself. Po**ous windbag.
