More Trouble for Australian Chef
posted (December 18, 2009)

In August, we told you about Cesare Fermino Daneille an Australian Chef who was working in Placencia. He was charged for obtaining property by deception after he allegedly conned the owner of the Red Hut Inn into getting into some fraudulent travel deals. But Daneielle put that behind him yesterday when the owner of Red Hut Chen Yin Hsieh dropped the charges. He should’ve been a happy man, but not for long because during the investigation police noted that his Belize visitor’s permit expired at the end of June, 2009.

So today he was back in court charged with failure to comply with a visitor’s permit. He pleaded guilty, was fine done thousand dollars and ordered to pay forthwith. He was unable to pay, so he will serve one year in prison after which he will be deported to Australia.

The interesting part is that Chen Yin Hseih dropped the charges against him on the understanding that he agreed to pay back the money that she lost in the scam in 6 installments. But seeing now that he’s going to jail, and from there back to Australia, her chance of getting back that many seem now to be slim to narrow.
