The Major Organised Crime and Anti-corruption Agency, (MOCA) says it secured guilty verdicts in a number of court proceedings, involving significant cases of financial crimes and corruption.

MOCA said three people were convicted recently.

They are Nickeisha Lewis, former employee in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security Alvira Campbell and accountant Goldston Cranston.

MOCA said in the case of Lewis, who was originally charged with offences under the Law Reform Act, the agency secured her indictment on two counts under the proceeds of crime act (POCA).

She was indicted for facilitating the acquisition of criminal property and engaging in a transaction involving criminal property.

MOCA said Lewis pled guilty to both charges last week in the home circuit court and was sentenced to two years imprisonment, which was suspended for two years.

She was also fined $100,000 or three-days imprisonment.

Meantime, MOCA said Campbell who was charged with larceny as a servant and money laundering, was convicted in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court.

In her matter, an order was made for restitution amounting to over $807,000.

Campbell is to be sentenced on August 20.

And in the case of Cranston who was charged and convicted for uttering forged documents, the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court ordered that he pay restitution in the sum of $830,000.

He is set to be sentenced on August 21.

Director of Communications at MOCA, Major Basil Jarrett said these convictions have served to not only bolster the agency’s reputation for putting strong cases before the courts, but also underline MOCA’s commitment to combating organised crime and corruption.
