A 33-year-old Cuban was on Thursday fined $50,000 and deported to her homeland for entering Guyana illegally.

Anna Remez, with the aid of an interpreter, pleaded guilty to the charge which read that on March 29, 2018 at Lethem, she departed Guyana by crossing a land frontier and did not present herself to an immigration officer.

It is further alleged that Remez on September 25, 2018 at Lethem entered Guyana illegally by a land frontier. She also pleaded guilty to the charge.

According to reports, Remez came to Guyana legally on March 27, 2018 via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. However, on March 29 she travelled to Brazil using the Lethem trail and did not present herself to an immigration officer. The woman spent the next six months working in Brazil and came back to Guyana on September 25, 2018 and was arrested by police at the Mabaruma Police Checkpoint.

The Chief Magistrate fined Remez $50,000 on both charges and deported her back to Cuba.
