The controversial Johnny Welshman was on Tuesday placed on Gy$25,000 bail when he appeared before Magistrate Dylon Bess charged for obtaining money by false pretence.

It is alleged that on October 21, the 23-year-old obtained Gy$40,000 from Alicia Fernandez by pretending to be a lawyer, knowing same to be false.

The prosecution is contending that Fernandez had a problem with her mother who has custody of her children. She was advised to get advice from a lawyer on the process of obtaining full custody of her children.

It is alleged that the North Ruimveldt resident advised Fernandez that he was a learned lawyer and will take her case. The Virtual Complainant subsequently realised that Welshman was not a lawyer and reported the matter to the Police.

The case will continue on December 29.
