A higgler who is said to be involved in the multimillion dollar lottery scam was offered $250,000 bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court Thursday.
The accused, Gary Nembhard of Havendale, St Andrew, was charged last Monday after he was caught coming into the island from Trinidad with US$9,500 in his underwear and US$17,000 in an envelope.
Investigators, who have been watching Nembhard for almost a year, said that he was sent to Trinidad to pick up the money, which was sent there by a 75-year-old United States citizen who was informed that she had won US$3.5 million in the lottery.
It was further reported that the complainant was told that she should send US$28,000 to Trinidad for taxes and other charges.
Nembhard was charged with money laundering, conspiracy to defraud, cross border movement of funds, bringing to Jamaica criminal property, and conspiracy.
