A former director of a local charity in Derry has been sent for trial on a series of fraud and forgery charges.
Eddie Kerr stepped down as Director of the Seeds Charity last year – it was set up in 2005 to provide support to migrants who moved to the area.
The 59 year-old of 33, Ashfield Terrace in Derry appeared at a preliminary enquiry at Derry Magistrate’s Court today.
He faced a total of 15 charges relating to forgery, fraud by false representation and using a false instrument with intent to defraud.
All the charges were said to have occurred on dates between February 2009 and November 2010.
It was accepted there was a case to answer and Kerr said he did not wish to make any statement or call any witness at this stage.
He was returned for trial on his own bail to appear at Derry Crown Court on January 6.
