The Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU) brought a man before the court, yesterday, after it was alleged he failed to declare a large sum of money before leaving the country.
The charge against Wilson Da Silva, 34, of Ituni Street, Bel Air Park, alleges that on December 4, 2014 at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) Timehri, he failed to declare to customs that he had US$20,715 in his possession.
Since the prosecution had no objections to bail, the father of three was granted his pre-trial liberty in the sum of $100,000.
Da Silva, who is an excavator operator, will return to court on June 9.
