Sagicor Group Jamaica says it is working closely with MOCA in fraud probe
Kingston, Jamaica – Sagicor Group Jamaica says it is cooperating with the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA), as it carries out investigations into a 2016 to 2019 fraud case involving personnel affiliated with the group. The case is also being probed by the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime (CTOC) branch, along with other agencies of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).
Sagicor noted in a release Monday morning’s announcement of at least four individuals linked to the case being arrested in areas across Kingston and St Andrew. None of these arrests were made at any Sagicor location, the company said.
“From the outset, Sagicor has remained steadfast in its commitment to transparency and accountability. As the Group maintains a zero-tolerance approach to fraud, upon identifying irregularities in 2019, immediate steps were taken to report the matter and safeguard against future breaches. We commend the efforts of the law enforcement authorities in conducting a thorough investigation,” Sagicor said.
The company further stated that it is committed to supporting the authorities as their investigations progress. It said, as the case is an active legal matter, it will not be providing further comments at this time.
