PASSPORT PLOT: Police have arrested a 64-year-old Belgian national, who holds permanent residency status in The Bahamas, in connection with multiple fraud-related matters.
According to preliminary reports, the accused allegedly received large sums of money over a period of time from both local and international individuals. The funds were reportedly linked to a scheme in which the suspect claimed he could provide immigration-related documents, including naturalization papers and passports.
Investigators further allege that the individual also collected money for loan-related services, despite not being registered or authorized by the appropriate government agencies to offer such services.
The matter remains under active investigation.
