A father of one appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennon yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was granted $75,000 bail on each of two fraudulent conversion charges.
It is alleged that Jagdesh Mangal, 27, on November 21, last, at Kerwin Street Ituni, Upper Berbice River was reportedly entrusted with $280,000 by Charlotte Wilson, on November 12, last, at Robb Street. He was also reportedly entrusted with the sum of $400,000 to purchase one M931- A1 transformer case for a motor lorry. He was accused of converting the said cash to his own use and benefits.
The accused was represented by Attorney-at-Law, Mohamed Zafar, who requested reasonable bail for his client. The lawyer told the court that Mangal is married and a father of one minor, is President of Emerald Forest Incorporated with no previous brushes with the law.
He also said that Mangal has cooperated with the police throughout the investigation and strongly denies the allegations brought against him and does not think that the Prosecutor has enough evidence.
Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones offered no objections to bail. The matter was transferred to the Kwakwani Magistrate’s Court for January 16. The November 12 offence that occurred at Robb Street will be heard before Magistrate Judy Latchman on January 8, 2015.
