At their first court appearance on January 17, the women were similarly charged for just over half a million dollars.

The charge of Embezzlement by Clerk/Servant read to them claimed that the sum was taken into his possession for/in the name of/on the account of the said company, their employee.
The three women who were all represented by Defence Attorney Nigel Hughes, pleaded not guilty when the charges were separately read to them and submitted an application for bail.
State Prosecutor, Bharat Mangru did not reveal the details of the fraud and offered no objections to bail. He indicated to the court that the charges yesterday were the last charges.
In response, the Chief Magistrate ordered the prosecution to have the statements filed for the next court hearing. The case is set to be called again on March 21 and each of the women was granted bail to the tune of $100,000.
