FID Charged Woman Linked To Late Drug trafficker. A retired haulage contractor from Clarendon is facing multiple charges related to money laundering. Investigators allege that Donna Marie Green-Mitchell held more than J$250 million in properties on behalf of her late nephew. He was a convicted drug trafficker in the United States.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the Financial Investigations Division (FID) announced the arrest and charges against Green-Mitchell. Her arrest resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the FID and the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Financial Unit (CFU).
Investigators have charged Green-Mitchell with three counts each of possessing criminal property, dealing in criminal property, and engaging in transactions involving criminal property. Additionally, she faces one count each for entering into or becoming involved in an arrangement for acquiring criminal property on behalf of another person. She also faces one count each for acquiring criminal property and conspiracy to acquire criminal property.
Authorities offered Green-Mitchell bail set at J$3 million. And scheduled her to appear before the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court in Half-Way Tree on July 9.
Financial investigators uncovered three properties, initially valued at around J$120 million, that are now appraised at over J$250 million. All properties are registered in Green-Mitchell’s name and located in St. Andrew, St. Ann, and Manchester.
The FID stated that the O’Neil McKenzie, Green-Mitchell’s late nephew, was the beneficial owner of these properties.
The FID and CFU claim that O’Neil McKenzie, Green-Mitchell’s late nephew, was the beneficial owner of these properties. McKenzie was a Jamaican national living in Brooklyn, New York. A judge in New York convicted him for drug distribution offenses in the United States. Then sentenced him to 188 months in federal prison, where he passed away in October 2023.
Investigators further allege that Green-Mitchell knowingly held and facilitated transactions involving properties. These properties are believed to represent the proceeds of McKenzie’s criminal activities.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Brent Williams, head of the CFU, commented on the case, stating, “Jamaicans need to be extremely cautious when asked to register properties or make purchases in their name on behalf of someone else, especially if they cannot verify that the source of funds is legitimate. Failing to conduct proper due diligence could lead to legal trouble, resulting in hefty fines, lengthy imprisonment, and loss of property.”
The Financial Investigations Division (FID) has reminded the public that allowing their names to hold or acquire assets on behalf of someone else is a criminal offense under Jamaican law. This practice, known as beneficial ownership, is illegal if the source of the funds cannot be verified as legitimate.
