Foreign nationals charged with money laundering

Three foreign nationals are expected to appear before a Port of Spain Magistrate tomorrow charged with money laundering.
The two Venzeulans and a Costa Rican national were held on October 16, 2015 following extensive investigations by officers of the Financial Investigation Branch of the Police Service.
Investigators believe they have cracked a major money laundering racket involving illegal gambling with the use of betting machines in certain parts of the country.
The accused, whose ages are 44, 43 and 38, were held at Allan Street, Diego Martin with TT$500,000 and US$7700, along with other foreign currency, which was seized.
Three motor vehicles were also seized by officers.
