Jamaican forces arrest former SSL executive in major fraud crackdown.

Jamaican security forces conducted coordinated raids on homes linked to former officials of the collapsed Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL), marking the first major public law enforcement action in the multi-billion dollar fraud case since it was first revealed in 2023. The operation, involving multiple agencies, targeted suspects in St Andrew and St James, with one former high-level SSL executive taken into custody. The investigation, which has impacted over 200 clients including a company owned by Usain Bolt, remains ongoing, with authorities urging public calm and signaling continued scrutiny of the financial misconduct allegations.
