Yesterday, the Guyana Police Force filed 60 new charges against Cuban National Yuri Garcia and his Guyanese wife Ateeka Ishmael, for the offense of Conspiracy to Defraud, allegedly committed on victims of a Ponzi scheme.
Both suspects failed to appear at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court yesterday to answer the charges.
Their Attorney, Dexter Todd produced two medical certificates, on their behalf, to the police investigators which purport to show that they have both tested positive for the Covid-19 virus.
However, investigators say that medical certificates may be bogus documents. Consequently, the police have launched an investigation to determine the authenticity of the medical certificates.
