A man was placed on $350,000 bail after being charged with forging a court order and conspiring to obtain millions of dollars from a woman.
Avery Grant appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Courts on Tuesday when he denied the two charges and was granted bail.
It is alleged that between June 14, 2016, and October 31, 2017, at
Georgetown, he conspired with unknown persons to forge an order of the Supreme Court of Judicature, purporting to show that same order was made by Justice Jainarine Singh, knowing same to be forged.
It is also alleged that between June 14, 2016, and June 27, 2016, at
Georgetown, with intent to defraud, he obtained the sum of $45 million from Ying Xin Su, by falsely pretending to her that he was the owner of the property situated at Lot B&C East of New Public Road, being portion of the North Half of Plantation Eccles, East Bank Demerara, and that he was in the position to sell same knowing such to be false.
The facts of the matter state that Grant and Su know each other and that the two made an agreement in 2016 for a sale and purchase. The agreed selling price of the property as stated in the charge was $45 million.
It also states that Grant assured the woman that a real estate agent would be able to assist him with getting the property. However, the woman later found out that a court order was forged, allegedly by Grant, to have a transport of the property in the virtual complainant’s name. A report was made to the police and an investigation was launched. Grant was subsequently
contacted and arrested.
After entering a not guilty plea for both charges, he was placed on $175,000 bail for each of the charges. The matter was adjourned until April 14.
