Investigators have charged three individuals, including a medical doctor from upper St Andrew, in connection with an elaborate fraud scheme that allegedly siphoned more than J$600 million from several financial institutions.
According to law enforcement sources, the complex operation targeted five financial entities and unfolded over an extended period. The scheme is said to have involved the use of forged and fraudulently obtained documents, allowing the accused to bypass security and verification systems.
The doctor and two alleged accomplices were charged following a lengthy probe led by the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), with support from the Financial Investigations Division (FID). Authorities say the investigation uncovered coordinated actions designed to unlawfully obtain large sums of money.
The accused now face multiple charges under various laws, including offences related to fraud, forgery, conspiracy, and breaches of the Proceeds of Crime Act.
During coordinated operations across several parishes, investigators also seized a motor vehicle believed to be connected to the illegal activities.
The matter remains before the courts as investigations continue.
