Floyd Primo, who was wanted by the Guyana Police Force, appeared in a city court yesterday for a second time where he faced a charge of attempting to sell a non-existent property.
According to the charge read by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, between May 1, 2015 and May 31, 2015 at Georgetown, Primo, with intent to defraud, conspired with a person or persons unknown to obtain money by false pretence.
It is alleged that he fraudulently obtained $500,000 from Harry Persaud towards the sale of a property located at Republic Park, East Bank Demerara, knowing same to be false.
The defendant, of Lot 80 Joseph Pollydore Street, Lodge, pleaded not guilty to the allegation.
Subsequent to a bail request made by his attorneys George Thomas and Paul Fung-A-Fat and no objection to the request by the prosecution, the defendant was granted bail in the sum of $500,000.
The matter was later adjourned to June 29.
Primo had been charged on June 3, with obtaining $13,750,000 from Karen Persaud for a property at Lot 40 Public Road, Kitty knowing same to be false.
This alleged incident occurred between May 6 and May 27.
The defendant, however, remains on remand for this matter.
