Kitty man before court on fraud charge
A former employee of Builders Hardware and General Supplies was on Tuesday released on $120,000 bail after denying a charge of fraudulent embezzlement, when he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Bhowanie Ramotar, 44, of Lot 7 Railway Line, Kitty, Georgetown, faces a charge of embezzlement by clerk or servant. On August 24, last, at Georgetown, Ramotar fraudulently misappropriated $500,000.
Magistrate Ann Mc Lennan ordered that he make his next court appearance on September 30, for statements.
Police Corporal, Deniro Jones, told the court that on the day in question, the defendant collected a cheque for $500,000 from Hai Fung Thung, to take it to the company’s proprietor.
The Prosecutor added that the defendant never handed over the cheque, and instead gave it to Andrew Fraser, who encashed it at a Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) branch on Regent Street.
The matter was reported to the police and under caution, the defendant admitted to taking the money.
