Tommy Lee Sparta’s alleged lottery scam victims were promised brand new Mercedes-Benz.
Prosecutors told the court last week that letters were found in the recycle bin of a laptop and an external hard drive called ‘Tommy Lee.’
The documents bearing the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s letterhead were addressed to two United States citizens aged 70 and 79. The seniors were told that they US$7,700,000 and US$1,500,000 respectively, and two red Mercedes-Benz motor cars in a lottery sweepstakes.
“You have to go through a series of folders to get to it, the detective told prosecution attorney Sophia Thomas last Friday. “The document with the letterhead of the Federal Bureau of Investigation contained a letter addressed to a James Robertson congratulating him on winning his prize.”

Tommy Lee Sparta, whose given name is Leroy Russell, and three others were charged in February 2014 on suspicion of breaches of the Law Reform (Fraudulent Transaction) (Special Provisions) Act, 2013. Two of the men were later released after no evidence was offered by cops.
Sparta and O’Brian were charged after investigations stemming from a traffic stop led police to an apartment in Kingston, where lottery scam paraphernalia was seized.
