ATTORNEY General William Bailhache has denied that he instigated the arrest of Senator Stuart Syvret on suspicion of breaching data protection laws.
The Senator was arrested outside his Grouville home on Monday morning and held at police headquarters for some seven hours, much of the time in a cell.
But Mr Bailhache (pictured) says that the arrest has nothing to do with repeated criticism that the Senator has heaped upon him.
He says that the police decided to arrest Senator Syvret over alleged Data Protection Law charges, adding that ‘everyone is equal before the law and Senator Syvret is no different from the rest of us’.
