Celebrity businessman, Ismaila Mustapha, aka Mompha, is back in the net of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwajaren, stated this in a statement on Monday, alleging fraudulent transfers.
Mompha, who was first arrested in 2019, is said to have laundered funds obtained through unlawful activities and retention of alleged proceeds of crime.
He is standing trial alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, on an amended 22-count charge bordering on cyber fraud and money laundering to the tune of N32.9 billion brought against him by the EFCC.
Uwajaren noted, “The account of one of his companies, Ismalob Global Investment Limited Bank, a Bureau de Change company, domiciled in Zenith Bank Plc, was allegedly used to launder funds derived from unlawful activities.
“Investigation has revealed a fraudulent transfer slip of $92, 412, 75 found in the suspect’s iPhone 8 device. He will soon be charged to court.”
