Two charged with money-related offences

A man has been charged with nine money-related offences in Magistrates’ Court.

Troy Brimmer, 61, was accused of dishonestly receiving almost $565,000 in money transfers, said to be criminal property, by processing transactions on compromised credit cards when he appeared in court yesterday.

Mr Brimmer, from Pembroke, faces 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, attempting to do so and transferring it to entities in Bermuda and overseas.

Mr Brimmer was charged with 61-year-old Shirleyann Simons with concealing or disguising $3,000, also said to be criminal property.

The alleged offences occurred between April 4 and 18, 2023.

Ms Simons, 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.

As the case must be heard in the Supreme Court, neither of the accused was required to enter pleas.

Senior magistrate Maxanne Anderson adjourned the case to the January arraignment sessions.

She released both defendants on $25,000 bail, with one surety each, until that time.
