The trial of former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran for alleged falsification of an account commenced yesterday.
Ramcharran, who was extradited from Canada to face multiple fraud charges, is currently on trial before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for the five charges of falsification of an account.
The charges allege that Ramcharran, while being the accountant of GRDB, omitted to enter a total in excess of $414 million in the GRDB ledger.
