The medical doctor who was charged in connection with a multi-million dollar fraud investigation affecting several financial institutions is to return to court in March when a bail application will be made.

Attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie says Dr Chloe Douett is to return to the St Catherine parish court on March 13.

The matter was mentioned this morning.

The 30-year-old of Cherry Gardens St Andrew was charged by the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency with uttering forged documents, demanding property on forged documents, conspiracy to defraud and failure to safely store a firearm.

According to the allegations read out in court, Dr Douett went to a bank in Montego Bay, St. James, in October last year to secure a loan of $70 million, where it is further alleged that she uttered forged documents reflecting someone else’s name.

She returned to the bank on January 13 to sign for the loan. The police were called, and she was arrested.

Mr Champagnie explained to IRIE FM News why the matter was being heard in St Catherine.

Last week, MOCA reported that Dr. Douett was one of three people charged after they were nabbed in coordinated operations across several parishes between January 13 and 16.

It is alleged that the accused 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.

The MOCA statement said the three allegedly assumed the identities of multiple individuals with varying occupations to bypass security protocols and identity confirmation measures at a number of institutions in the financial sector.

The Financial Investigation Division (FID) charged 29-year-old Ivana Campbell, Executive Assistant of Cedar Grove, Portmore and 44-year-old Dwayne Pitter, unemployed of Olympic Gardens, Kingston, with breaches of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), the Larceny Act, the Forgery Act, and the Law Reform (Fraudulent Transactions) (Special provisions) act, as well as conspiracy to defraud at common law.

MOCA said the arrests represent a major breakthrough in a very unique fraud case that has been under investigation by MOCA and the FID for over 18 months.
