MOCA CHARGES ONE MORE SUSPECT IN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FRAUD CASE

The Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) has charged another suspect in connection with the ongoing multi-million-dollar fraud investigation affecting several financial institutions across the island.
Forty-four-year-old Dwayne Pitter of Olympic Gardens, Kingston, has been charged with breaches of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), the Law Reform (Fraudulent Transactions) (Special Provisions) Act, the Forgery Act and Conspiracy to Defraud at Common Law, which together comprise thirty-six counts.
Pitter was arrested on January 13 this year, along with 30-year-old Chloe Douett, medical doctor of Cherry Gardens, Kingston, while 29 year-old Ivana Campbell, Executive Assistant of Cedar Grove, Portmore, was arrested on January 16, following a series of coordinated operations involving MOCA, the Financial Investigations Division (FID), the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch (CTOC), and the Montego Bay Ferry Police.
Pitter, Douett and Campbell are alleged to be part of an organised criminal syndicate that carried out an elaborate and highly sophisticated multi-million-dollar fraud scheme against several banks and financial institutions, between January 2023 and April 2024, through the submission of fraudulently obtained genuine documents and fraudulent identification documents. 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.
According to Major Basil Jarrett, Director of Communications at MOCA, “It is important to clarify at this stage that the three persons charged so far are implicated in multiple separate investigations but have been charged jointly in some of them. The investigation is ongoing, as is our commitment to prosecuting those responsible to the maximum extent of the law.” Major Jarrett is also inviting anyone with information on this and other financial and organised crimes to report it to MOCA’s tip line at 888-MOCA-TIP
This is a significant development in cracking down on financial crime. It's good to see MOCA and collaborating agencies diligently pursuing those involved in such complex fraud schemes. For businesses looking to maintain robust financial records and professional transactions, tools like Free Invoice Generator can be very helpful in preventing some types of fraud.
