The Financial Investigations Division (FID) says it will continue to work strategically, with its partners, to follow the facts in relation to the SSL fraud investigation.

The commitment was given in a joint statement on the investigations, after three people were charged over the weekend. This followed coordinated operations at four locations in St. Andrew and St. James on Saturday morning.

Those charged are: founder of SSL Hugh Croskery, Sarah Meany and Zachary Harding, the former CEO of SSL.

The statement said Mrs. Meany was taken in, because of her direct connection to activities at SSL.

The charges are: breaching the Bank of Jamaica act, securities act, larceny act, banking services act and companies act.

They were offered bail and are scheduled to appear in court in January.

Investigators state that electronic devices and several documents were seized during the operations and entered into evidence.

All the items are being subjected to forensic and analytical review.

Charges were also laid against three companies: Stocks and Securities Limited, Delta Capital Partners Limited and SSL Growth Equity Limited.

Prior the weekend developments, police in 2023 charged former Client Relations Manager, Jean-Ann Panton, who is facing a 22-count indictment.

The operations were conducted by the FID, the Constabulary Financial Unit (CFU), and the Special Operations Unit of the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch (C-TOC).

Principal Director of Investigations of the FID, Keith Darien said working together and securing key evidence, strengthened the casework needed to advance accountability and safeguard the public interest.

Deputy Director of C-TOC, Acting Senior Superintendent Victor Barrett noted that complex financial investigations demand disciplined teamwork, operational precision and careful coordination across multiple units.

He added that the outcome highlights what is possible when law enforcement agencies share intelligence.

Meantime, Head of the CFU Inspector Brenton Williams said probing the case required a comprehensive review of events dating back to SSL’s inception in 2006.

Investigators say Dermot Meany was arrested in relation to a firearms act breach discovered during the course of the operation. It’s alleged that the licensed firearm holder was found to be in possession of ammunition exceeding the legally permitted amount.

The statement says the matter of charges against Mr. Meany will be the subject of separate communications from the appropriate law enforcement agency.
