The four people who were charged in relation to an organized fraud scheme targeting Sagicor Group Jamaica Limited last week were each granted $850,000 bail and ordered to surrender their travel documents. 

Michael Fenton of Trevennion Park Road, Cebert Watt of Red Hills Road, Michael Douse of Studio One Boulevard all of Kingston, and Orlando Breakenridge of Rock Hall, St. Andrew were granted bail when they appeared in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court last Friday. 

They were charged by the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) with conspiracy to defraud, possession of criminal property and receiving stolen property.

Mr. Fenton was additionally charged with possession of and dealing in ganja. 

On Monday, December 16, MOCA agents and several units of the Jamaica Constabulary Force staged simultaneous operations at the men’s homes. 

This was part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of fraud and forgery after Sagicor officials reported the matter.

According to MOCA, its investigation revealed an organized scheme involving the four men to defraud the company by submitting fraudulent invoices and documents for work purportedly conducted for Sagicor.
