THE Magistrate’s Court yesterday adjourned the case of the former empoyee of Bank South Pacific (BSP) who was accused of stealing $83,000 from the bank.
Roy Davis, 31, is facing one count of false pretence and one count of money laundering.
This was in relation to the incident on June 24 last year where he created a fictitious Ezy account and withdrew $83, 000 from the BSP two days after.
It was also alleged that the money was used to pay for a property.
He pleaded guilty to the false pretence charge but denied the money laundering charge on a previous date.
Prosecutor Natalie Kesaka yesterday said she is still awaiting response from the Director of Public Prosecution to determine whether a short or long form Preliminary Inquiry (PI) will be heard into money laundering charge.
This was following the application for withdrawal of the charge submitted to the DPP’s office by the defence lawyer
Principal Magistrate Steve Wilson adjourned the matter to March 15 for advice on a long or short form preliminary inquiry pending reply from the DPP.
Michael Holara from the Public Solicitor’s Office is representing the accused.
