A British man has been charged for allegedly smuggling the U.S. equivalent of J$20 million concealed in shampoo and conditioner bottles in the island earlier this month.

He is 42-year-old Trevor Whyte, a musical artiste and businessman from Enfield in London, England.

Reports are that Whyte, who also resides in Westmoreland, arrived at the Sangster International Airport from London, on Thursday, May 1.

Whyte was searched, and three bottles labelled shampoo and conditioner were found.

They were examined and US$130,490 wrapped in plastic, was allegedly found.

It is further alleged that Whyte attempted to bribe Jamaica Customs Agency officers, encouraging them to take two of the packages and allow him to leave with the remainder of the money.

He claimed the funds were legitimate earnings from musical performances and were intended to support business activities in Jamaica.

However, he was unable to provide evidence of the lawful source of the funds.

Following an interview in the presence of his attorney, in St. James on Friday, Whyte was charged for ‘Possession of Criminal Property’, ‘Cross Border Movement of Funds’ and ‘Attempted Bribery’.

Principal Director of Financial Crimes Investigations at the Financial Investigations Division, Keith Darien, says investigators remain resolute in disrupting such illegal activities.
