A director of a construction company has been granted $250,000 in bail after he appeared before a master of the High Court on seven charges.
Daniel Wilson, a 48-year-old director of a construction company, was on Monday granted $250,000 bail with a surety after appearing virtually before Master of the High Court, Shabiki Cazabon.
He is charged with seven counts of uttering a forged document and attempting to obtain $10,125,000.28 by false pretence.
Wilson was ordered by Master Cazabon to report to the St Joseph Police Station thrice a week as part of his bail conditions.
The matter was adjourned to July 18.
Wilson was arrested on March 20 by officers of the Tunapuna Police
Station and later charged on March 23 by PC Groome, of the Fraud Squad, who
was the lead investigator into a police report made by a financial institution.
According to the police report, on March 5, 2024, a man entered a commercial bank in Tunapuna where he allegedly presented a cheque from the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago and other contract documents purporting to be from the Ministry of Works and Transport, to open an account.
The documents were accepted as genuine however they were later discovered to be fraudulent.
