They are to be arraigned alongside a company, Damen Charter International 12 B.V. in a charge marked FHC/L/153c/24, before Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke.
In the charge filed by the Force CID’s prosecutor, S. O. Ayodele alleged that the defendants conspired among themselves to commit the offences sometime in 2019.
Holtes and De Kok, alongside the company, were alleged to have fraudulently obtained the sum of $707,363.10, from a firm, NUE Offshore Resource, by selling a vessel which was represented to the company that its engine was manufactured in 2019, a pretence they knew to be false.
