KINGSTON, Jamaica — Well-known real estate attorney Jennifer Messado, who is facing multiple fraud-related charges, has been hospitalised after she collapsed yesterday.

Her lawyer Christopher Townsend a short while ago confirmed that she has been admitted for treatment but did not disclose her condition.

Messado is currently on bail following allegations that she tried to sell properties owned by a church without the owner’s consent. She was due to re-appear in court on Friday.

The attorney was arrested in relation to the offence on May 11 and charged with two counts of forgery, two counts of uttering forged documents, conspiracy to defraud, causing money to be paid out by forged documents and money laundering.

However, further charges were brought against her in a separate fraud case when she was again arrested on May 25.

Those charges include uttering forged documents and attempting to obtain money by means of forged documents.

The police have disclosed that Messado is under investigation in relation to several real estate transactions.
