UPDATE: Attorney to appear in court on money laundering charges

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The attorney-at-law slapped with money laundering charges Thursday is to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s court today.

Fifty-five-year-old attorney-at-law Dawn Satterswaite was charged along with Paulette Higgins, 53-year-old of Norman Gardens, Kingston 2; Janet Ramsay, 50 year-old of Bridgeport, Portmore, St Catherine and Ann Marie Cleary, 40-year-old of Woodlawn, Manchester for breaches of the Proceeds of Crime Act.

The three women charged along with the attorney are said to be relatives of a convicted drug trafficker.
