The trial of the Crabwood Creek couple charged with possession of forged United States currency has been reassigned following Magistrate Alex Moore’s recent decision to recuse himself from hearing the case.
The charge against Mool and Reshma Maniram states that on January 29th, 2018, at Grant 1805 Waterside Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Berbice, without lawful authority or excuse, they had in their possession 218 forged currency notes, purporting to be 218 US$100 notes, and 11 forged currency notes, purporting to be 11 US$50 notes, knowing same to be forged.
During a hearing at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday, the matter was reassigned by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan to Magistrate Renita Singh at the Whim Magistrate’s Court.
