Oct 18, 2013 News

 
Two Colombians yesterday appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where they each faced a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony.
Samir Eduardo Garcia Salazar and Jamie Enrique Vilasquez-Meneses both pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that between February 17, 2012 and March 21, 2012, they conspired with person or persons unknown with the intent to defraud. It is alleged that they forged Republic of Guyana visas which were dated February 17, 2012, purporting to show that same were issued to them by the Central Immigration and Passport Office.
According to the report given by Prosecutor Vishnu Hunt in open court, both parties are Colombian nationals who, on October 1, were incoming passengers at Ogle Airport.
The court heard that upon their arrival at the said airport, they produced their passports to be processed by the Immigration Officer who after performing procedural examination observed that both parties possessed false Republic of Guyana business visas.
Further examination then ensued and the duo was arrested and charged.
Magistrate Judy Latchman placed the men on $100,000 bail each. They are expected to return to court on October 31.
