A disbarred Brampton lawyer has been arrested and charged after allegedly orchestrating four mortgage and cheque fraud schemes totalling around $4.3-million, Peel police say.
Pawanjeet Singh Mann, 52, is facing several charges, including multiples counts of fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, criminal breach of trust, and uttering forged documents, police said in a news release Monday.
Police allege Mann “knowingly participated” in a mortgage fraud scheme in 2019 and said their fraud bureau received “multiple complaints” alleging he had engaged in fraudulent activity.
Mann’s lawyer licence was revoked by the Law Society Tribunal of Ontario in 2025 as a result, according to the release.
Police said there may be additional victims and are asking anyone who believes they may have been affected, or anyone with information, to contact investigators.
