Former Insurance Corporation Of Barbados Ltd (ICBL) chief executive officer Ingrid Innes is set to plead guilty in a United States federal court to her role in a bribery scheme involving former Government minister Donville Inniss.

The 70-year-old, Guyanese-born, Canadian resident faces one count of conspiracy to launder money and two counts of money laundering.

Innes is scheduled to appear before District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto in the Eastern District Court of New York on September 1, where she will formally enter her guilty plea and be immediately sentenced. Matsumoto also presided over Inniss’ 2020 trial, handing the former parliamentarian a two-year federal prison sentence.
