Bail extended for UWI lecturer accused of fraud

Attorney and lecturer at the Norman Manley Law School, Laverne George, who is accused of  defrauding two of  her clients of nearly J$20 million had her bail extended  when she appeared in court on Tuesday.

George, who was charged last week by the Counter Terrorism and Organized Crime Investigation Branch (C-TOC), pleaded not guilty.

Investigators say in 2010, the attorney sold a property for one of  her clients for J$10 million  but only handed over one million dollars from the sale.

It's alleged that she sold another property in 2013 for J$8 million  but fraudulently converted the money to her personal use.
 
George is scheduled  to return to court month.
