A WOMAN of Haitian descent was granted bail yesterday after she was accused of possessing a fake Bahamian passport last year.
Senior Magistrate Kendra Kelly arraigned Dieulene Joseph, 38, on charges of possessing false documents, fraud by false pretence, and conspiracy to commit fraud by false pretences.
Joseph’s co-accused, Ricardo Pyfrom, 53, and Silian Durolin, 43, were previously arraigned in connection with the matter.
Prosecutors allege that Joseph was found with a fraudulent Bahamian passport in the name of Aliyah Pyfrom on January 30, 2024. She also allegedly conspired with others to defraud the passport office of the document between January 24 and 30, 2024.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom, who prosecuted the case, objected to bail; however, it was granted in the amount of $6,000 with one or two sureties. As part of her bail conditions, Joseph will be fitted with an electronic monitoring device and must sign in at the Grove Police Station every Thursday by 7pm.
Her trial is scheduled to begin on May 19.
