Jeux en ligne : 59 millions FCFA blanchis via comptes de personnes âgées
Recent investigations conducted by the National Financial Information Processing Unit (CENTIF) highlight a new money laundering modus operandi: the coordinated use of electronic money accounts opened in the name of elderly people and the exploitation of online gaming platforms to give a legitimate appearance to money flows of dubious origin.
In this case, the owner of an electronic money transfer point is accused of having created and controlled electronic accounts in the name of elderly people (aged 73 to 81). The evidence collected by CENTIF indicates that these accounts received 59,000,000 FCFA in cash deposits, made 53,792,365 FCFA in outgoing P2P transfers and 9,300,510 FCFA in cash withdrawals, mainly via the suspected person's agent point. The funds, after circulation between accounts, were massively used for bets on the BET1 platform (and punctually recorded on the so-called "GAME" platform).
The amounts wagered matched almost exactly the amounts recovered, so the operation left only minimal losses related to costs.
According to the CENTIF, this is a typical pattern of money laundering, seeking to "justify" the origin of the funds through simulated gambling losses and winnings. Another element concerns investigators: some funds were transferred to the account of a 14-year-old minor before being withdrawn at the same individual's agent point.
