A man accused of importing multiple guns into Cayman has been granted $30,000 cash bail by the Summary Court ahead of a Grand Court appearance next month.
Appearing via video link from Northward Prison on Thursday, 2 Feb., Anton Parygin, of Canada, listened as his attorney James Stenning made a brief bail application.
“The position is that Mr Parygin will post bail by way of a bond,” said Stenning, who added that his client was willing to adhere to several strict bail conditions.
These require Parygin to surrender his Canadian, Russian and Israeli passports, not go within 100 yards of any air or seaport, to stay at a specified address, and to report to the George Town police station weekly.
During Thursday’s hearing, the prosecution stated it was satisfied with the bail conditions. These had been pre-approved through emails between the prosecution and defence counsel, so no arguments were advanced in court.
Parygin, 45, arrived from Canada on 28 Jan. when he was arrested by Customs and Border Control officers. He faces six counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm and three counts of importation of an unlicensed firearm.
Parygin is expected to make his first Grand Court appearance on 2 March.
