A Guyana Police Force (GPF) Finance Officer yesterday faced two counts of conspiracy to defraud the Force of over $1.8 million.
Assistant Superinten-dent Kurt Smith, who was jointly charged with Super-intendent Lorraine Saul, was arraigned at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan read the two indictable charges to him. Saul is presently overseas.
It is alleged that between December 18, 2020 and December 28, 2020, at Georgetown, they conspired with each other and with other persons, while being officers of the Guyana Police Force, to falsify payments amounting to $1,350,000, purporting to show that meals were supplied to ranks of the Riot Unit training during December 1, 2020 and December 15, 2020.
