- Accused of Engaging in Money Laundering Activities, Allegedly an App Developer.
A 38-year-old individual is under scrutiny for alleged money laundering activities. Reportedly, he utilized a bogus position as an app developer to carry out these illicit activities. Over the course of April 2022, a sum of 152,000 euros was amassed, which sources suspect originate from criminal activities such as human trafficking and coerced prostitution. The legal authorities in Berlin have indicted the head of a well-known food service and delivery company, accusing him of facilitation and money laundering.
As per the charges, the man supposedly entered into an employment agreement with a 38-year-old in December 2020, offering him a job as an app developer. The contract stipulated an initial monthly salary of 8,500 euros gross, with a subsequent increase to 10,000 euros gross from May 31, 2021.
Nevertheless, the so-called employee never delivered any such services, allegedly by design. Instead, the accused app developer is believed to have funneled money from illicit activities like human trafficking and coerced prostitution towards the individual, who then dispensed it as salary payments.
The allegations against the individual have been forwarded to The Office of the Prosecutor for further investigation. It is crucial for The Office of the Prosecutor to determine if the money transferred as salary payments was indeed the proceeds of criminal activities.
