Women charged for money laundering

The Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy in Antigua has charged two women for money laundering.



The organisation says the women - Atiya Fabian and Rosenella Joseph – were charged following an investigation conducted by the Financial Investigations Unit.



The authorities say Fabian faces two counts of money laundering and one count of facilitation of money laundering, while Joseph is facing two counts of facilitation of money laundering in the larceny and misappropriation of US$33,330 from a local bank.



The authorities say the recent charges bring to four the number of persons who have been charged by the Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy with money laundering offences.



The two women are booked for court on Monday.
