Authorities in Jamaica are investigating the robbery of legendary runner Usain Bolt’s investment account, after millions of dollars were stolen from him.
According to the “The Gleaner”, newspaper website which specializes in Jamaican news, Bolt’s investment account in Stocks and Securities Limited saw the disappearance of millions of dollars, reports Al-Rai daily.
The investigation into the incident began after Bolt reported a problem with his investment account last Wednesday, according to the British Daily Star newspaper.
The Jamaica Financial Investigations Division and the Financial Services Commission have taken over the case, according to the business manager of the eight-time Olympic gold medalist, Nugent Walker.
Walker said in a press statement: “All required measures have been taken to find out what happened in Bolt’s account. Bolt has been dealing with the investment institution for more than 10 years. Work is underway to review its entire investment portfolio.”
The newspaper “The Gleaner” indicated the involvement of a former employee of the investment institution in which Bolt lost part of his money.
According to Forbes, in his last year of sports competitions in 2017, Bolt achieved large profits of 25 million pounds (approximately 30.577 million dollars), while Celebrity Net Worth estimated the total wealth of the runner at 74 million pounds (90 million and 500 thousand dollars).
