NASSAU-Two employees at the Department of Immigration are accused of defrauding a man who had applied for permanent residency.
Dexter Frazier, 46, of Constitution Drive, and Khaliah Brown, 39, of Seabreeze Boulevard, are accused of taking $2,600 from Raymond Bubel to approve his application.
Prosecutors claim that Brown forged a naturalization letter and an approval letter, which Frazier then gave to Mr Bubel, a Canadian citizen.
Frazier and Brown face charges of conspiracy to commit fraud by false pretense and fraud by false pretenses in respect of the money allegedly received from Mr Bubel.
Brown is charged with two counts of forgery regarding the letters she allegedly prepared.
And, Frazier is charged with possession of those forged documents and giving them to Mr Bubel.
They denied all charges at their arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt, who adjourned the matter to November 5.
Shortly after the arraignment, Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson set their bail at $9,900 bail each during an emergency hearing.
Hope Strachan, Devard Francis and Roberto Reckley represent the accused.
