Sagicor Bank fraud case: Trial to begin in April

 

The four women charged in connection with the multi-million dollar fraud racket uncovered at Sagicor Bank in 2022 are to stand trial April next year.

 

The trial is scheduled to begin on April 7.

 

Alysia Moulton White, former Vice President for Group Marketing at Sagicor Group Jamaica; Client Care Officer Tishan Samuels, and former Sagicor Bank employees, Tricia Monique Moulton and Malika McLeod, are accused of conspiring and defrauding the US foreign currency accounts of about six Sagicor customers.

 

Their bail was extended when they appeared in the Kingston & St Andrew Parish Court Tuesday afternoon.

 

Investigators say more than 60 million dollars was defrauded from customers' accounts in the alleged scam.

 

One account was reportedly defrauded in the amount of 40 million dollars.

 

Prior to Tuesday's adjournment, Alysia Moulton White's attorney, Matthew Hyatt, said, having seen the statements on the file, the only thing the prosecution has established is that his client and Ms Moulton are related.

 

Ms Samuels's attorney, Rita Allen Brown, requested the list of witnesses.

 

The prosecution is to provide that list on November 4.

 

The prosecution, while indicating that it had received 11 of the 15 outstanding statements, said it will proceed without the remainder.

 

Mrs Allen Brown, while arguing that her client's name was not mentioned in any of the statements, said there was no evidence against her client.
