Several charges have been brought against Jean-Ann Panton, the former employee at the centre of the multi-billion dollar Stocks and Securities Ltd scandal.

This morning, Panton was charged with violating the Larceny Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), the Forgery Act, and the Cyber Crimes Act, according to the Financial Investigations Division (FID).

After searches were made at two locations in the Corporate Area linked to Panton on January 20, she was questioned by investigators between Tuesday and Thursday before charges were brought against her.

The FID observed that Panton and her counsel were present during the search activities.
