Jennifer Messado in police custody

Jennifer Messado, one of the nation's top real estate attorneys, was taken into custody by the police late yesterday.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey, who heads the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime division, confirmed that Messado was arrested in connection with a multimillion-dollar fraud investigation.

"Yes, she is in our custody," Bailey told The Gleaner. He said that the investigation centred on the sale of a property in the Corporate Area "and involves forged documents".
