KINGSTON, Jamaica — Law enforcement authorities have charged an attorney-at-law in connection with an alleged multi-million dollar real estate fraud uncovered by the Fraud Squad and the Financial Crime Investigation Division (FSFCID).
The accused has been identified as Debby-Ann Samuels, who was reportedly engaged to act on behalf of a client in a property transaction in St Ann.
According to investigators, the sale was finalised in 2024, with proceeds exceeding $8 million deposited into an account under Samuels’ control. Concerns were raised after the client allegedly did not receive the funds, prompting a report to the police and the launch of a formal probe.
Efforts by investigators to reach Samuels were unsuccessful, leading to her being listed as a person of interest on April 22.
Authorities later apprehended her on April 27 in St James during an operation carried out by the Specialised Operations Branch. Police reported that her capture followed a brief confrontation.
Samuels was subsequently interviewed on April 29 in the presence of legal representation and formally charged with fraudulent conversion.
She is expected to appear before the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on May 1.
