A FORMER US Charge d’Affaires to The Bahamas, Stephanie Bowers, reportedly pleaded not guilty last week in the United States to charges of financial crime and concealment.
Nothing indicates that the charges relate to her activity as a former diplomat in The Bahamas.
The Post and Courier, an American newspaper, reported the former diplomat appeared before a Charleston South Carolina US District Court on Wednesday, on one count of participating in a government activity to further her financial interests and two counts of concealing or falsifying information.
US District Court Magistrate Judge Molly Cherry set her bond at $50,000 with the stipulation she not travel out of the country unless authorised. The judge approved travel to The Bahamas for a funeral said to be held last week.
