Accused fraudster remanded

Another man charged in connection to the fraud matter uncovered at the Accountant General's Department was remanded in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Charged with money laundering and conspiracy to defraud is technical engagement specialist Troy Blythe of a Kingston 8 address.

The Crown alleges that between February and October 2014, an employee of the agency, fraudulently created life certificates to suggest that deceased pensioners had submitted the respective certificates.

Pension payments to the tune of approximately $2.5 million for the deceased were prepared and transferred by electronic means to the bank accounts of the accused.

Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey remanded Blythe and ordered that his attorney make a bail application for November 14, the day the matter is expected to be mentioned.
