10 months ago, 7News told you how 250 thousand dollars plus was reportedly embezzled from the Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management – that's Greg Choq's organization, known as SATIIM. Well, tonight we can confirm that SATIIM's former Finance Officer, David Duncan, has been charged for some of that money.

PG Police have confirmed to us that with the directive of the Office of the DPP, Duncan was charged with 9 counts of theft because he was reportedly connected to 9 cheques for a total of just over 100 thousand dollars. He was arraigned in the Punta Gorda Magistrate's Court yesterday, where he pleaded not guilty and was granted bail of $10,000.

As we reported, Greg Ch'oc, the Executive Director of SATIIM reported to police that between January 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013, Duncan, the former Administrator and Finance Officer forged, deposited and cashed several cheques belonging to SATIIM for that very large sum of money.
