A major breakthrough in the debit card skimming fraud which emptied scores of Barbadian bank accounts as an Argentine mechanic charged in connection with the cyber-crime has been remanded to prison when he appeared in District ‘A’ Criminal Court #2.

(1) Between the 6th and 7th of July 2019 it’s alleged he stole $3,040.00 in Barbadian Currency belonging to Barbados Public Workers Cooperative Credit Union Limited.
(2) Between the 5th and 8th of July 2019 it’s alleged he stole $79,770.00 in Barbadian Currency belonging to CIBC First Caribbean International Bank (Barbados) Limited.
On the first offence, he entered a plea of not guilty; however he was not required to plead to the second charge as that charge is strictly indictable.
Bail was denied and he’s now remanded into custody to HMP Dodds until Wednesday August 14th 2019 when he’s scheduled to reappear at District ‘A’.
