An Interpol red notice has been issued targeting Elliot Lockhart, a former legislator from Exuma, the Bahamas, who faces allegations of fraud.

The charges against Lockhart include two counts of stealing by reason of service and two counts of proceeds of criminal conduct.

Allegations from the first complainant

The case began to unfold when Daniel Clay Smith, Jr., approached the Financial Crimes Investigation branch.

The funds were purportedly also meant to assist Smith and his family in their application for citizenship.

However, Lockhart allegedly produced a fraudulent document, supposedly detailing a wire transfer from CIBC First Caribbean International Bank to Cross Creek Group LLC, which never materialized in Smith’s accounts.
