Kingston, Jamaica: The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) has charged four in people in connection with an organized fraud scheme targeting Sagicor Group Jamaica Limited.
Those charged are Michael Fenton, Orlando Breakenridge, Cebert Watt, and Michael Douse. They are facing charges of conspiracy to defraud, possession of criminal property, receiving stolen property, and engaging in a transaction involving criminal property. Fenton also faces charges of possession and dealing in ganja.
The arrests followed a series of operations conducted by MOCA and other law enforcement agencies on Monday across Kingston and St. Andrew.
According to MOCA Director of Communications Major Basil Jarrett, the scheme allegedly operated between 2016 and 2019. It involved the submission of fraudulent Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs) and invoices to Sagicor Property Services by contractors, including Fenton’s company, M Fenton Construction Limited.
Jarrett stated that investigations revealed an organized network involving contractors and Sagicor employees who collaborated to defraud the company by submitting multiple fraudulent documents for work that was either not completed or significantly overvalued.
All four accused are scheduled to appear in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on December 20.
