Former Ontario lawyer charged, accused of defrauding victims of $4.3M
The lawyer from Brampton had his licence revoked last year in Ontario after a tribunal determined he knowingly participated in a mortgage fraud scheme in late 2019.
Former lawyer Pawanjeet Singh Mann has been charged in Brampton, Ontario for allegedly defrauding individuals of over $4 million through mortgage and cheque scams, according to Peel regional police. Mann lost his law license last year after a disciplinary tribunal found he participated in a mortgage fraud scheme in late 2019. Police also received numerous complaints in June and July related to his alleged fraudulent activities.
Investigators allege that Mann orchestrated four separate mortgage and cheque fraud schemes. He has been charged with four counts of fraud over $5,000, three counts of criminal breach of trust, and two counts of uttering forged documents. Mann was arrested earlier this month and charged with the aforementioned offenses. Police are urging anyone with information regarding the case to come forward.
