Duo jailed for simple larceny
Two Ministry of Finance employees were each sentenced to three years imprisonment by Magistrate Leron Daly, after they were found guilty of simple larceny.
Nigel Adams, a driver, of Ogle, East Coast Demerara and Gary Emanuel Dundas, a 49-year-old technician, of West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, conspired with person or persons unknown to steal $2.4M, property of the State of Guyana.
The theft occurred between January 1 and 20, 2011 at the Accountant General’s Department, Ministry of Finance.
The Magistrate in handing down her ruling explained that the charge of embezzling money was inconclusive, because the men were not employed as a clerk or servant to the Ministry. As a result of this, a case of simple larceny was made out by Police Prosecutor, Inspector Michael Grant.
The Magistrate explained that the money was already owned by Guyana which was why the case of larceny was made out, since the money belongs to another. A total of six witnesses testified during the trial including Adams’ mother-in-law, Colleen Easton. She was jailed for 36 months by Magistrate Judy Latchman, last October, for conspiring to commit a felony.
The men are currently on trial for several other charges that stemmed from a fraud at the Accountant General’s Department of the Finance Ministry. They will return to the Providence Court on August 12, for continuation in the other trials.
