A Southampton man has been charged with having possession of more than $50,000 cash knowing the money represented the proceeds of criminal conduct.

Ricardo Walker, 44, of Eastdale Lane, was not required to enter a plea in Magistrates’ Court to the indictable charge and could be tried in the Supreme Court.

Prosecutor Cindy Clarke told the court $51,206 was seized by Customs Officers on October 21 last year as Mr Walker was leaving the Island.

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner released Mr Walker on $10,000 bail with one surety.

He will reappear for mention on February 25.
