Michael Misick Found Guilty on All Counts in Historic TCI Corruption Case

A historic chapter in the political history of the Turks and Caicos Islands has closed — with former Premier Michael Misick found guilty on all counts in the territory’s most extensive corruption prosecution. Misick, along with former Minister of Natural Resources McAllister Hanchell and attorney Chalmers Misick, was convicted in Supreme Court following the long-running Special Investigation and Prosecution Trials. The case stems from findings of the Turks and Caicos Commission of Inquiry, which exposed allegations of bribery, abuse of office, and the misuse of Crown land. 🔎 Verdict Summary: Michael Eugene Misick – Guilty of 3 counts of bribery McAllister “Piper” Hanchell – Guilty of 2 counts of bribery Thomas Chalmers “Chal” Misick – Guilty of 4 counts of money laundering Despite the convictions, bail was granted: Michael Misick – US$15 million McAllister Hanchell – US$4 million Chal Misick – US$13 million The verdict was delivered on February 4, 2026 by Justice Rajendra Narine. Sentencing is scheduled for May 4, where the court will determine whether prison terms, financial penalties, or both will follow — marking the final phase of a corruption saga that reshaped governance in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This case closes more than two decades of investigations, extradition battles, and courtroom proceedings tied to one of the Caribbean’s most significant political scandals.
