A female employee of the Ministry of Finance is expected to appear before a master of the High Court on May 16 to face charges of forgery and uttering a forged document.

The 57-year-old accused has been identified as Kathy-Ann Thompson. She is alleged to have submitted a fraudulent job letter via e-mail to a financial institution in June 2024.

The document, purportedly issued by the ministry's investments division, was later confirmed to be falsified. Following the discovery, the matter was reported to the Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau (ACIB), White Collar Crime Division, in July 2024.
