BRENTNOL Brian, 33, of Linden Squatting Area, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday, charged with conspiracy and uttering a forged document.

One charge alleged that, between August 27 and September 9, he conspired with persons unknown to forge an Inter-Caribbean travel document in favour of Travis Simeon, purporting to show that it was issued by the Central Immigration and Passport Office, knowing it to be false.
Another charge said, on September 9, at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), he uttered, to an immigration officer, the forged Inter-Caribbean travel document, purporting to show that he was Travis Simeon, knowing that to be false.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Police Sergeant Gordon Mansfield, prosecuting, said the defendant was an outgoing passenger to Trinidad when he tendered the travel document to an immigration officer who observed that it was not genuine.
Brian was put on $150,000 bail and the cases were transferred to Providence Court, also on East Bank Demerara, for October 8.
