The 3 suspects arrested last week in connection with a multi-million dollar fraud investigation affecting a number of financial institutions across the island, have been charged.
30 year-old Chloe Douett, a medical doctor of Cherry Gardens, Kingston, is charged with uttering forged documents, demanding property on forged documents, conspiracy to defraud and failure to safely store a firearm.
While, 29 year-old Ivana Campbell, an executive assistant of Cedar Grove, Portmore, St. Catherine and 44 year-old Dwayne Pitter, of Olympic Gardens, Kingston, are charged with breaches of the proceeds of crime act (poca), the larceny act, the forgery act, the law reform (fraudulent transactions) (special provisions) act, as well as conspiracy to defraud at common law.
The three were nabbed following a series of coordinated operations across several parishes between January 13 and 16, by agents from the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), the Financial Investigations Division (FID), the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime (C-TOC) investigation branch of the JCF, as well as the Montego Bay and Ferry police.
They are alleged to have carried out an elaborate and highly sophisticated multi-million-dollar fraud scheme between January 2023 and April 2024, through the submission of fraudulently obtained genuine documents and fraudulent identification documents.
