Former general manager of Jamaica’s state-run refinery Petrojam, Floyd Grindley, was today (March 16) arrested and charged by detectives attached to the Major Organised Crime & Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA).
MOCA, in a media statement, said Grindley was slapped with eight counts of aiding and abetting obtaining money by means of false pretence.
Following its investigations, MOCA concluded that Grindley assisted chairman Perceval Bahado-Singh in fraudulently claiming several reimbursements totalling some US$73,620.
“Mr Floyd Grindley was interviewed in the presence of his attorney and subsequently arrested and charged. He was later offered bail, to appear in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday, March 17,” the agency indicated.
It is the second arrest in just over a week by MOCA, following charges laid against Bahado-Singh last Monday.
Grindley, the embattled general manager at Petrojam at the height of the damning scandal, left his post on July 10, 2018, days after portfolio minister Andrew Wheatley was stipped of his responsibilities as energy minister.
