The St. James Parish Council says it has asked the Police Fraud Squad to investigate claims by the Deputy Mayor of Montego Bay, Michael Troupe, that he did not sign a fraudulent letter in support of a visa application.
The letter was presented to the US Embassy by a member of the governing PNP’s National Executive Council, Chevan Maxwell, in support of his visa application.
The correspondence purportedly containing Mr. Troupe’s signature, falsely stated that Maxwell is an employee of the parish council.
Secretary Manager of the St. James Parish Council, Gerald Lee, says the Council formally wrote to the Police Fraud Squad yesterday.
Mr. Lee says the police have been asked to determine who signed the fraudulent document.
