A Brazilian man has admitted to offences related to money laundering.

Luca Bandeira, 21, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to possession of $66,080 in criminal funds, possession of a machine to create fake credit cards and possession of fake credit cards.

The offences took place on June 24.

Bandeira also admitted attempting to steal from the delivery services Sargasso and Pronto and theft of an unknown amount from the same businesses between July 1 and 10.

Further charges of theft and attempted theft were kept on file and Bandeira was not required to enter a plea for them.

It is understood that Bandeira, who was staying at a guest house in Sandys, could face jail time for the offences.

Victoria Greening, for the defence, requested that her client take part in a social inquiry report to assess his “aptitude towards the offence”.

Puisne Judge Alan Richards adjourned the case until February 3 to set a sentencing date and remanded Bandeira in custody.
