CUBAN national Alexander Louis Bermudez was fined $30,000 with the alternative of three months imprisonment yesterday, for illegal entry into Guyana.It happened after he pleaded guilty, through an interpreter, to the offence before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
The alien admitted that, on Saturday, October 12, at Lethem, in the Rupununi Magisterial District, he entered Guyana, crossing a land frontier and did not present himself to an immigration officer.
He said he came to this country as a tourist and thought that he was granted a three-month visa rather than a one-week permit and during his stay, he was robbed in Lethem.
