A Nigerian man who works a 'dark cash" was captured in an inn in Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Friday, July 22 while mimicking as a United Nations officer.
The 46-year-old man was seized by the Wangsa Maju Commercial CID. OCPD Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif said a 35-year-old South Korean man landed in Malaysia on July 16 on an exceptional task from his boss.He was told by his better than meet a "Joined Nations Director of Operations" who was offering a unique fluid for "washing" dark shaded notes said to add up to US$300mil.
Little did his supervisor realize that the assignment was only a trick by the Nigerian man to pick up his trust before drawing him into putting a large number of dollars into the "dark cash" Scam.
The Korean landed with two of his companions to handle an arrangement with the supposed UN officer in two gatherings held between July 17 and 22. Supt Roy said the Korean trio met the Nigerian at a lodging in Jalan Ampang at around 10.30am on July 22 to settle the arrangement.
"They paid him US$12,000 for the fluid. At 4pm that day, the Nigerian did a reversal to the lodging with a gear loaded with dark 'dollar notes'.
"The Nigerian guaranteed that the purchasers could without much of a stretch get US$100mil by washing the dark cash with the fluid.
"In any case, the Korean was not persuaded. He advised his companions to contact the police," he told journalists at a question and answer session on Monday, July 25.
Supt Roy said police touched base at the inn and captured the Nigerian, who then drove them to his loft unit in Bukit Antarabangsa, Ulu Klang. The suspect has perpetual occupant status and is hitched to a neighborhood lady with whom he has two youngsters.
"He lived alone in the loft while his family stayed in Subang. He has been in Malaysia for a long time in the wake of entering the nation as an understudy. He has been included operating at a profit cash trick for as far back as four years.
He and his Korean casualty had initially begun comparing through email and online networking," Supt Roy said. Police will confirm with the Immigration Department on the legitimacy of the card," he said.
Supt Roy said that however the man had worked alone, police did not preclude the likelihood of him being a piece of a syndicate.
Police recuperated the US$12,000 paid by the Korean and grabbed a dark baggage sack loaded with dark notes, a few cellular telephones, a MyPR card and a card with misrepresented UN qualifications.
Supt Roy included that the suspect's remand which finished on Tuesday was stretched out to help examination under Section 420 of the Penal Code for misrepresentation.
