-jointly charged with two others
Assistant Police Commissioner Calvin Brutus, Corwin Nicholson and Latoya Brummell appeared yesterday before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court where they were jointly charged with seven counts of conspiracy to commit a felony by payment under false pretence.
It is alleged that between December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2024, at the Guyana Police Force Headquarters, Eve Leary Georgetown, with intent to defraud, they uplifted the sums of $14,895,000, $14,851,000, $14,650,450, $14,805,000, $14,535,000, $14,545,600, and $14,725,000, all totalling $103,007,050
The accused were not required to enter a plea on the indictable offence. The Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) prosecutor indicated to the court that the state had no objection to Brummell being granted bail, but requested that bail be placed at the sum of $100,000 on each charge.
