A Colombian national, purported to have forged documentation legitimising his entry to Guyana from Venezuela, was yesterday placed on $50,000 bail by a city court.
Luis Eugenia Marcia Torres, 48, pleaded guilty to entering Guyana by sea and disembarking without the consent of an immigration officer on April 14, at Charity, Essequibo. He was fined $20,000 for that charge or an alternative of four weeks in prison, while he denied an additional charge that he forged documentation of his entry.
