Argentinian to know fate on Friday

BT Court

In the next few days, ATM scammer Joaquin Alberto Lobos will be sentenced.

Justice Randall Worrell set down December 10 as the date on which he will sentence the Argentinian who pleaded guilty to theft and money laundering offences that occurred over two years ago.

Lobos, of Caseros, Buenos Aires, had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of theft in that between July 5 and 8, 2019, he stole a combined sum of $88, 070 from CIBC First Caribbean International Bank.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of money laundering for having in his possession $88, 070, being the proceeds of crime.

When he reappeared in the No. 2 Supreme Court yesterday Justice Worrell said the court was still awaiting a report from the prison.

Worrell said he was informed the document would be available by Friday and adjourned the matter until then.

Crown Counsel Keith Robertson is prosecuting the matter while Queen’s Counsel Andrew Pilgrim is appearing on behalf of Lobos.
