An ex -employee of an established Mining Company on Tuesday faced charges of embezzlement. Dwain De Leon, of Lot 2 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown was employed by North American Resources Incorporated, (NARI) when he reportedly pocketed a quantity of raw gold.
As such, the former Camp Manager appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court to answer the allegations of fraud. He pleaded not guilty.
On March 29, De Leon being employed as a clerk or servant of the North American Mining Company fraudulently embezzled 10 ounces of raw gold valued in total at $3,595,586.
According to reports, on March 29, 2013 a dredge manager at Konawaruk, Region Eight, had the extracts washed. Gold was gathered, weighed and documented by the manager, in the presence of two Brazilian workers.
The manager, accompanied by a security officer attached to the mines, took 10 ounces of raw gold to De Leon, who allegedly took it into his possession for safekeeping. De Leon later denied ever receiving such gold.
At the initial hearing, De Leon secured the services of Attorney -at- Law, Mark Waldron who requested bail on behalf of his client.
However, Police Prosecutor Sergeant Vishnu Hunte objected to the defendant acquiring his pre- trial liberty.
DeLeon was remanded to prison until June 3, 2013.
