A CUSTOMS officer testified yesterday that former customs broker Precious Miller Moxey falsified accounts to steal over $1.8m in funds in 2019.
Winston Evans gave testimony before Magistrate Kendra Kelly as the fraud trial against Precious Miller Moxey, 36, continued.
Bjorn Ferguson represented the accused.
Mrs Miller-Moxey is accused of defrauding Cable Bahamas of over $1.8m during a 12-month period while she was a customs broker for Simply Shipping Solutions.
The defendant faced 114 fraud-related charges, including 35 counts of falsification of accounts, 33 of uttering a forged document, 26 of fraud by false pretences and 20 of stealing by reason of service.
Mr Evans said that between January 2018 and February 2019 the defendant prepared documents that were not genuine with the customs database to misappropriate funds. It was also said the defendant manipulated data in custom’s systems.
Mr Evans is expected to continue to go through custom’s ledgers when the trial in the matter resumes next year.
