Foreign National Charged: Possessing $826K
Appearing in Magistrates Court this morning [Mar 16], a 25-year-old foreign national was charged with allegedly possessing approximately $826,000 of cash knowing it to be the proceeds of crime.
The defendant, Yeshayahu Zirkund, described to Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo as an Israeli-American, faced the indictable charge of possessing over $826,000 of cash knowing it to be the proceeds of crime.
Mr Zirkund was not required to plead because the matter can only be dealt with in Supreme Court.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Cindy Clarke told the Magistrate that the majority of the cash was in Bermuda dollars.
The Magistrate ruled that bail was to be $100,000 with one surety and then attached several conditions. These were that Zirkind must surrender all travel documents; not leave this jurisdiction; must report his address to Police; and must report to the nearest police station every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Mr Zirkund must return for Mention on 30th March 2015.
