Ryan Ferreira known as ‘Herbert’ who was charged with forging documents with intent to defraud the public in 2021, was freed on Wednesday at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court after the court found no evidence to convict.
Ferreira appeared at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Sunil Scarce and was freed after the prosecutor was challenged pertinent to witnesses not showing up to provide evidence.
