RAMWATTIE Ramlochan, a former auto sales manager attached to the East Coast Demerara-based Caricom Auto Sales Agency, had read to her eight more embezzlement charges, totalling approximately $3.2 million, bringing the total amount allegedly embezzled from her employer to over one hundred million dollars.

Appearing at the Vigilance and Cove and John Magistrate’s Courts on Thursday August 22, the Lot 1211 Newtown, Enmore, East Coast Demerara mother of three faced the additional charges, along with prosecution claims that she may be seeking to flee the jurisdiction.
Presiding Magistrate Zamilla Alli consequently refused Ramlochan bail, and remanded her to prison until September 2, 2013.
On April 20 last year, Ramlochan appeared before Chief Magistrate Pria Sewnarine Beharry to answer to the first set of related charges, and was granted bail in the sum of $150,000.
In a June 21, 2013 appearance before Magistrate Zamilla Alli at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court, Ramlochan was denied bail and remanded to prison after more charges were read to her, but she was later granted her pre-trial liberty after a successful bail application was made by Attorney-at-Law Glen Hanoman at the High Court in Georgetown.
However, Magistrate Alli decided to remand her to prison again yesterday (Thursday) after another eight charges were read, which stated that Ramlochan further embezzled the sum of $500,000 from Shelly Caleb and $300,000 from Nigel Peana on January 9, 2012; the sum of $500,000 from Alicia Laurie between September 16  to November 1, 2012; the sum of $120,000 from Patricia Edwards between January 5 and February 2, 2012;  and the sums of $500,000 on January 9, and $300,000 on January 11, 2012 from her employer, Caricom Auto Sales.
