An American business entrepreneur, held for investigation in Turkey - International money laundering..

An American business entrepreneur, has been held for further investigation in Turkey for his role in international money laundering.

The business entrepreneur whose real name is Adam Darwin was stopped on his way from America heading to Australia (Sydney ) with a huge amount of money($3,500.000) which seems to look like fraud or money laundering.

The Turkish intelligence monitoring unit discovered that the documentation backing up the funds Mr Adam Darwin was travelling with is invalid. According to the constitution any amount more than $10,000.00 caught with anybody should have a clearance certificate to back it up to prove that the money was not stolen or hijacked.

In 2022, a law has been placed that whoever is seen with such case should be sentenced by the royal court for a combined total of 10 years or charged guilty to pay a fine of $200,000.00.

Chief Officer said the operation demonstrates the "effectiveness" of our strongest deterrent to be criminal networks seeking to launder money in our island.

"It also illustrates how SOJP works closely with our highly professional colleagues at the NCA – they are an agency to be reckoned with.”
