Investigators raid multiple addresses in money laundering probe

Law enforcement teams have raided 51 addresses as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged money laundering, tax evasion and fraud, the Investigative Committee said in a press release.

The investigation concerns alleged embezzlement, large-scale money laundering and tax evasion resulting from falsifications committed by the “factual leaders of several companies”. 

11 persons are indicted, 5 of whom have been jailed without bail. 1 suspect is released on bail while 4 others are wanted. An arrest warrant has been issued for another suspect. 

“The investigative task force formed as part of the criminal proceedings is carrying out simultaneous searches in 51 addresses of interest,” the committee said.

Law enforcement agencies raided on July 8 the ENA main office and the home of its chairman of the board.
