Clive David

Clive David, a former Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Customs officer was yesterday jailed for three years after being found guilty of trafficking in cocaine via mail.

David, 31, was represented by attorney Patrice Henry who asked that the minimum sentence be imposed on the father of five. Magistrate Fabayo Azore, who found that the prosecution had proved beyond a reasonable doubt that David had both knowledge and possession of the drugs, also fined him $1,941,000, which is three times the street value of the narcotics.
