Two persons were yesterday charged with four counts of forgery stemming from a nearly $30 million wire transfer fraud that targeted the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI).
Anissa Williams and a co-accused were hauled before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown, where they were read the four joint charges, which were indictable.
The charges allege that between March 16, 2021 and March 24, 2021, at Georgetown, they acted in concert to forge documents through wire transfer letters for the sum of over $29 million, purporting to show they were signed by the Chief Executive Officer of GWI Shaik Baksh, knowing same to be false.
