A woman is now free on $100,000 bail after she denied taking $1.8M in gold that she was asked to keep and using it for herself.
Roxanne Rae appeared yesterday in a city court facing a fraudulent conversion charge.
It is alleged that between February 1 and February 28, 2013, being solely entrusted by Montague Spencer with a quantity of gold, valued $1.8M, to be kept and returned, she fraudulently converted it to her own use and benefit.
No other details related to the charge were given to the court.
The prosecution had no objection to bail, which was set at $100,000 by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, on the condition that Rae report to the Brickdam Police Station on a weekly basis.
The matter was adjourned to February 16 for the filing of statements.
