Czech national remanded
Habl Angel, a citizen of the Czech Republic, was yesterday remanded by acting Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry for entering Guyana and not presenting himself to an immigration officer.
The accused was unrepresented, and was provided with an interpreter.
It is alleged that on March 5, at Lethem, the accused entered the country from Brazil and failed to present himself to the lawful authority.
Through his interpreter, Angel told the court that he did present himself to the immigration authority and they wrote “something” on a document but they did not stamp his passport. The Magistrate then recorded a not guilty plea for the accused.
The court was also told that the accused was in Guyana on his way to French Guiana.
Nevertheless, he was remanded to prison. Angel’s next court appearance will be on April 11.
