Dominic Walsh and Osmond Ghanie, employees of the Guyana Timber Products Inc., were yesterday charged in connection with the 359.8 kilos of cocaine discovered in a container the company tried to ship to The Netherlands.
At the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, Magistrate Alan Wilson granted the two men bail in the sum of $350,000 despite objections by Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) prosecutor Donald Downer, who said it would be best for the men to be kept in the state’s custody to ensure their safety.
It was alleged that between January 25 and February 20, 2013, at Soesdyke, the two men had in their possession 359.8 kilogrammes of cocaine
