Usain Bolt lawyers say $12.7m is missing from Olympic champion’s account

• Jamaican authorities investigating after alarm is raised
• Firm says several clients may be missing large sums

A lawyer for Usain Bolt said on Wednesday that more than $12.7m is missing from his account with a private investment firm in Jamaica.

Linton P Gordon, a lawyer for Bolt, provided the Associated Press with a copy of a letter sent to Stocks & Securities Limited demanding that the money be returned. Gordon said the Olympic champion's account once had $12.8m but now reflects a balance of only $12,000.
