Pembroke pair deny charges of money laundering

A man and a woman have denied allegations of money laundering and dishonestly obtaining money transfers in the Supreme Court yesterday.

Troy Brimmer, 62, pleaded not guilty to dishonestly receiving almost $565,000 in money transfers, said to be criminal property, by processing transactions on compromised credit cards.

Mr Brimmer, from Pembroke, also denied two other counts of trying to dishonestly obtain money transfers totalling $267,065 by using compromised cards.

He is further accused of concealing or disguising the funds, along with attempting to do so and transferring funds to entities in Bermuda and overseas.

All the offences allegedly occurred between April 3 and 19, 2023.

Shirleyann Simmons, 62, from Pembroke, denied a charge of dishonestly trying to receive almost $80,000 worth of money transfers by using compromised credit cards on April 11, 2023.

She and Mr Brimmer denied a charge of concealing or disguising $3,000, also said to be criminal property, between April 3 and April 19, 2023.

Ms Simmons, from Pembroke, faces a separate charge of dishonestly trying to receive almost $80,000 worth of money transfers by using compromised credit cards on April 11, 2023.

Puisne Judge Alan Richards released both defendants on bail until October 3, when the matter is scheduled to be mentioned in the Supreme Court.

The matter was one of several heard during a case management session.

During the same session Judah Roberts, 30, from Smith’s, denied a series of drug-related offences including possession of cannabis resin and three counts of possessing drug equipment.

All the charges allegedly occurred on November 14, 2022.

Mr Roberts was released on bail until September 5.
