KINGSTON, Jamaica – A trial date could not be set Tuesday in the money laundering case against attorney-at-law Dawn Satterswaite and her three co-accused because a number of documents are said to be still outstanding after five months.

When the matter came up for case management hearing in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court prosecuting attorney Caroline Hay told the court that the Crown is awaiting outstanding documents from the United States and local authorities.

Fifty-five-year-old Satterswaite and her co-accused were arrested five months ago and slapped with money laundering charges as a result of their alleged dealing with a convicted transnational drug trafficker.

Hay Tuesday asked for a mention date in September but the defence attorneys present – including Ian Wilkinson and Linda Wright, who held for Jacqueline Samuels Brown – revisited and a return date of June 12 was eventually set.

Charged with Satterwaite are 53-year-old Paulette Higgins of Norman Gardens, Kingston 2; 50-year-old Janet Ramsay of Bridgeport, Portmore in St Catherine; and 40-year-old Ann Marie Cleary of Woodlawn, Manchester.

Satterswaite’s three co-accused are related to drug kingpin Andrew Hamilton, who was convicted in the United States.

All four accused were arrested on December 17 last year and charged for breaches under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Three days later they offered bail in the sum of $10 million each and instructed to surrendering all travel documents.

The attorney is alleged to have facilitated Hamilton’s multimillion-dollar real estate transactions. The court was told in December that between 1998 and 2009, 30 high-end properties were bought for Hamilton by Satterswaite to the tune of J$500 million.
