A FATHER-of-one has been accused of acting as a “middle man” in a €6m worldwide invoice fraud and money laundering conspiracy.
Francis Ogbuefi (37), who was allegedly linked to fraudulent transactions through an Irish bank account, was arrested after gardaí raided his Dublin home and seized luxury and designer goods bought in a €27,000 “spending spree”.
Judge Alan Mitchell refused to grant him bail and remanded him in custody when he appeared before Dublin District Court today.
Mr Ogbuefi of Clonard Road, Crumlin, is charged with two counts of money laundering and one of conspiracy.
Objecting to bail, Detective Garda Stephen Kelly said the two money laundering offences were alleged to have happened on dates between December 7 and 31 last.
