Dave Rajeshwar Persaud is sentenced again to four years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to two fresh fraud-related charges. Both reports say the charges involve obtaining by false pretence and are brought by Guyana’s Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU). According to the accounts, Persaud appears before the court at Diamond—one report refers to the Diamond Court and the other to the Diamond Magistrates’ Court. One outlet states that Persaud initially entered not-guilty pleas but later admitted to the conduct at his court appearance, while the other describes the case as proceeding after guilty pleas.
The sentencing totals four years across two counts. The reports also identify Persaud as someone with an earlier conviction for fraud-related offences, framing the new case as a repeat conviction. The articles provide limited detail on the alleged conduct beyond the charge category and SOCU’s role, and do not describe restitution or other conditions of sentencing. Both outlets present the matter as a straightforward outcome of guilty pleas and a fixed prison term.
