KINGSTON, Jamaica — An accused man was ordered to return to court in September to answer to charges in a $93 million fraud case when he appeared at the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Ricardo Dennis was recently arrested as part of an investigation already before the courts and involving several other accused.

He is charged with conspiracy to defraud, engaging in transactions involving criminal property, and possession of criminal property.

It is alleged that the man participated in the $93 million scam targeting the National Commercial Bank, and gained $9.2 million in proceeds himself.

The prosecution asked that the sitting judge, Peter Wilson, review the conditions of the accused’s bail.

In addressing the accused, the judge urged him to get a lawyer.

“These are very serious charges against you,” the judge said.

The young man responded that he “didn’t receive any money”.

In granting $900,000 bail with one to two sureties, the judge imposed reporting conditions thrice weekly and also ordered the surrender of the accused’s travel documents. A stop order was also placed on him at the island’s ports.

He is to return to court on September 11.
