Four Cuban nationals were on Friday charged and fined $20,000 by City Magistrate Leron Daly for overstaying their time in Guyana.

Yendry Carrion, Yordan Sotolomgo, Yuliach Galafe and Odalys Dias were all unrepresented and denied the charges. Carrion was charged with overstaying his time in Guyana from January 2, 2017 to June 15, 2017 after being permitted to stay from December 2, 2016 to January 1, 2017.

Sotolomgo was charged with overstaying his time in Guyana from January 6, 2017 to June 15, 2017 after being permitted to stay from December 6, 2016 to January 5, 2017.
