Stacy-Ann Garvey, the former National Housing Trust (NHT) employee accused of being behind a $10 million dollar racket at the agency, is to return to court on March 2.

Garvey, 26, who recently took up a bail offer, appeared before Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. Two complainants in the matter also appeared.

Fleecing millions

Garvey, accused of fleecing millions of dollars from desperate house-seekers, was nabbed during a police operation in Fletcher's Land in Kingston. Further reports are that more than $700,000 was seized during the operation.

It is reported that persons paid large sums of money to Garvey, who promised to place them atop the list of persons slated to get houses from the NHT.

Pay for her aid

She allegedly urged them to pay for her aid as the houses were in high demand.

Investigators say in one of the reported cases, a man claimed to have paid $2 million as a down payment on a number of houses.

She was suspended by the NHT in March, after persons alerted the agency when her alleged promises were not forthcoming.

NHT officials then alerted the Fraud Squad.
