According to the Loop Jamaica news portal bail was set on Aug. 19 and Hamilton is to return to court on Sep. 19.
Jamaica’s Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency (MOCA) arrested the 20-year-old on Aug. 14 in Kingston, according to the Jamaica Observer news portal. His arrest follows a joint investigation conducted by MOCA and the Financial Investigations Division into a case of money laundering and other financial crimes.
As Loop Jamaica explains, Hamilton is the son of convicted drug trafficker Andrew Hamilton, who is serving a sentence in the US. Prosecutors say the younger Hamilton signed several real estate documents to help launder drug profits.
Four women also face charges in the case, including 55-year-old attorney Dawn Satterswaite, who bought 30 properties for Andrew Hamilton between 1998 and 2009, valued at $500 million.
