An Eccles East Bank Demerara resident has been arraigned on a charge of stealing $32 million worth of raw gold.
Desmond Singh faced Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court. He pleaded not guilty to an allegation that he stole 110 ounces of raw gold from Carl David of Carl David and Clarence David Mining Consultancy.
The defendant was admitted to bail after his attorney made an application for his pretrial liberty.
The lawyer argued that the defendant is currently unemployed and that no evidence of the raw gold was found on his person. The lawyer listed the defendant’s address as Ermsville Apartments, Eccles East Bank Demerara.
While addressing the court in a bid for bail, the lawyer also pointed out that Singh was placed $100,000 station bail but continued to assist the police with investigation until he was summoned to court.
The prosecution did not object to bail. Hence Singh was released on $250,000 bail. However the condition of Singh’s bail is that he lodges his travel documents and reports to Constable Seeram at the Brickdam Police Station once weekly.
The defendant’s next court date is scheduled for March 1.
