A former Courts employee has been arrested and charged with fraud amounting to more than $19 million, after irregularities were recently discovered within the organisation.
The parent company for Courts, Unicomer Jamaica, in a statement Thursday, said after discovering “irregularities” that raised “serious concerns”, it engaged law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation.
“As a result of this investigation, one former employee has been arrested and charged with fraud amounting to over J$19 million,” the furniture and appliance retailer said.
