flag Jamaican minister Zavia Mayne faces criminal charges for not handing over financial records, sparking a Supreme Court battle over the Integrity Commission’s authority.

flag Jamaican state minister Zavia Mayne faces recommended criminal charges from the Integrity Commission for allegedly failing to provide financial documents, including details on a $120-million property sale and company assets, during a 2023–2024 investigation. flag Mayne’s legal team disputes the commission’s authority, calling the demands a "fishing expedition" and arguing the law only requires disclosure of personal assets. flag They say Mayne submitted annual declarations and requested a Supreme Court interpretation of the relevant law, which they claim was acknowledged but omitted from the report. flag The case, now before the Supreme Court, hinges on whether the IC exceeded its legal powers under Section 43(1)(b) of the Integrity Commission Act.
