A man, who allegedly defrauded telecommunications giant Digicel of thousands of US dollars had his bail extended in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Charged with conspiracy to defraud is 39-year-old Shawn Allen, who was ordered to surrender his travel documents.
Allegations are that following a report made by Digicel Jamaica in October, police from the Organised Crime Investigation Division, along with personnel from the telecoms company carried out an operation at the Medical Associates Hospital.
The teams were led to the medical institution based on coordinates provided by equipment used by a company contracted by the telecoms agency to track devices used to facilitate the bypass of international calls to Jamaica.
This has resulted in a revenue loss of approximately $200,000 to Digicel and the Government. The device operating at the location allegedly under the control of the accused was seized and is currently undergoing analysis by the Police Cybercrime Unit.
The matter is scheduled to be mentioned on January 27.
