Lottery scam legislation coming

Livern Barrett, Gleaner Writer

Legislation outlawing the lottery scam could be passed by March.

That announcement came this morning from national security minister Peter Bunting.

Bunting said a draft document called the Law Reform Fraudulent Transaction Special Provision bill has already been completed.

The draft bill, Bunting said will be tabled by next month and should be ready a month later.

Jamaica does not have legislation that outlaw the lottery scam which has been blamed for hundreds of murders.
