Dominican remanded on fraud charge
A Dominican national who told the court she came to Guyana on vacation and over stayed her time was on Friday remanded to prison after she appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman to answer to the charge of forgery.
It is alleged that between April 14 and October 26, at Georgetown she conspired with others to commit forgery.
She arrived in the country on April 14 and was granted a one-month stay and instead remained for three months.
She forged an immigration stamp on page seven of her passport SE3374751. Police Prosecutor Shawn Gonsalves objected to bail citing to the gravity of the charge and the penalty attached.
He told the court that it’s likely that the defendant would not return to court for her trial because she is a Dominican national.
The 26-year-old who resides at Lot 620 East Ruimveldt pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to her by the magistrate.
She will make her next court appearance on November 11.
