MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Giadrius Mazurka, a man of Scandinavian origin on fraud charges, and his co-accused Juliet Campbell had their bail extended when they appeared in the Mandeville Resident Magistrate's court on Wednesday.

They are on charges for seven counts of operating an employment agency without the requisite licence, obtaining money by means of false pretence, fraudulent conversion and conspiracy to defraud.

When the case came up for mention on Wednesday, Resident Magistrate Oswald Burcheson told the clerk of the court that he and the investigating officer should ensure that the court is satisfied with the payments that the accused have made to the complainants.

The case will be heard again on Monday, February 13.

Allegations are that the employment agency, which operated under the business name Global Choices on Caledonia Road in Mandeville, offered the service of assisting persons with the process of obtaining visas in order to take up jobs in the United States of America.

Without the imminent job offers, which is the condition on which visas were issued, some persons' visas were cancelled.

The matter was reported to the police when no refund of payments was made by the agency to the participants in the programme.
