Former auto sales clerk Ramwattie Ramlochan yesterday again appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on an additional embezzlement charge and was once again placed on $150,000 bail by acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
This time Ramlochan was charged with embezzling $655,000 on October 12, 2011 while being employed by Caricom Auto Sales. She pleaded not guilty to the charge and was again represented by her attorneys Hukumchand and Clarissa Riehl.
The attorneys said that Ramlochan is already on bail exceeding $400,000 and she should be sent on her own recognizance.
However, Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Lionel Harvey asked that a monetary value be attached to the bail.
The other matters before the court are scheduled to be heard on May 15 in the East Demerara Magisterial District in addition to the new one.
