The $222 million dollar fraud case at the Institute of Sports (INSPORTS) between 2011 and 2017 involving popular ‘Chug IT’ and ‘French Connection’ party promotor Andrew Wright has been transferred to the Home Circuit Court.

The decision was taken in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday (April 26) by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.

Charged are Andrew Wright and co-conspirators Rudolph Barnes, Oneil Hope, Jonnique Mills, and Andrea Picton.

The individuals were arrested and charged by members of the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) after suspected fraud and other irregularities were detected by INSPORTS in 2017 during an examination of their financial records.

The matter was subsequently reported to MOCA triggering an investigation.

They were charged with various offences including conspiracy to defraud, acquisition, use and possession of criminal property, engaging in transactions involving criminal property and larceny as a servant.
