Notorious fraudster Clinton Allen remanded

Businessman and Micro Business Developers and Consultant Inc Chairman Clinton Allen has once again found himself before the Chief Magistrate just over a month after he was hauled before the courts in relation to a million fraud.

It was alleged that he uttered one forged Republic Bank manager’s cheque to Fantasy Auto Sales for the purchase of six motor vehicles valued at $26.3 million.

The first of the three new charges stated that Allen, between January 31 and February, 2017 at Sheriff Street, Georgetown, with intent to defraud, obtained $516,000 from Virtual Complainant (VC) Samuel Mango by falsely pretending that he was in a position to grant a loan of $4 million to the said VC.

In addition, the accused, on a previous occasion in late 2016, at the same location, obtained some $700,000 from one Mohan Lalchand under the pretence that he was in a position to grant a loan of $5 million. Finally, between November 4 and December 9, 2016, he defrauded Kizzy Shepherd of $415, 000 by falsely pretending that he was in a position to loan her some $3.4 million.

The court heard that Allen has upcoming matters of a similar nature for which he is expected to be charged shortly. The unrepresented man pleaded not guilty to all three charges, and was remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
