Venezuelan women fined, ordered deported after illegal entry

Three Venezuelan nationals were yesterday fined and ordered deported after they pleaded guilty to entering the country illegally.

Leandre Gritto, Denise Vieira and Ariana Martinez were all brought before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who, with the aid of a translator, read the charge to them in a Georgetown court.

The charge stated that the three women on February 7th, 2018, at Eteringbang, Cuyuni River, entered Guyana by sea and disembarked without the consent of an immigration officer.
