Indian Businessman Arrested in Morocco for Alleged Celebrity Money Laundering Scheme

Several international businessmen and athletes in Marrakech had the misfortune of crossing the path of an Indian whom they had solicited to launder their money by investing in various fields, including tourism, sports and the sale of luxury cars. They paid him huge sums of money and were simply scammed. This Indian businessman, holder of British nationality, was arrested in February while he had presented himself to the authorities to settle a problem related to the cashing of a check for one million dirhams intended for his ex-wife, reports the Arabic newspaper Assabah.

The man who was investing in the nightclubs and restaurants of the ochre city appeared on the Interpol red list because he is wanted in France for money laundering. The businessmen he scammed learned of his arrest, but none of them filed a complaint for fraud. They rather removed his photos from their social media accounts, tried to erase any trace that could link them to the Indian businessman.
