Danielle Riviere, a former chief executive of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, has refuted allegations of having illegally acquired a money transfer exceeding $15,000.
The 48-year-old resident of Pembroke appeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday to address the charges against her.
In court, Ms. Riviere firmly denied the claim that she dishonestly received the sum of $15,725 through a money transfer that occurred on September 27. Additionally, she faces a separate allegation of false accounting.
In this instance, she has also pleaded not guilty, asserting that she did not improperly utilize a chamber vendor’s invoice form, which she was aware may have been “misleading, false, or deceptive” for the purpose of gaining “furnished information.” This particular offense is said to have occurred on September 24.
Ms. Riviere opted to have her case remain within the Magistrates’ Court system. Following the proceedings, Senior Magistrate the Worshipful Maxanne Anderson, adjourned the case until March 17. She granted Ms. Riviere release on bail set at $7,500, while also imposing a condition that she refrain from contacting any witnesses for the Crown.
