A former chief executive of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce has denied dishonestly obtaining a money transfer of more than $15,000.

Danielle Riviere, 48, from Pembroke, appeared in Magistrates’ Court where she faced a separate charge under the false accounting section of the Criminal Code.

On that count, she denied dishonestly using a chamber vendors invoice form which she knew was, or may have been, “misleading, false or deceptive” with a view to gain “furnished information”.

It is alleged that the offence occurred on September 24.

Ms Riviere also denied dishonestly receiving $15,725 through a money transfer on September 27.

She chose to keep the case in Magistrates’ Court.

Senior magistrate Maxanne Anderson adjourned the case to March 17, released Ms Riviere on $7,500 bail and ordered her not to contact any Crown witnesses.
