Couples launder 8 billion yuan in two years! Mother-in-law's living room was blown up with 240 million dollars in cash
According to Taiwanese media reports, a couple surnamed Wu in Jiayi City have been successful in business, but they launder money privately. The amount of money collected and paid on their books is as high as 8 billion yuan (NT$, the same below). When the prosecution came to search on the 19th, it withheld 240 million yuan in cash from Wu's wife, Chen's surname.
Jiayi District Procuratorate pointed out that Wu, a 40-year-old husband and wife, started to operate rubber materials trading company. Since December 2017, they have been operating underground exchange companies. Over the past two years, they have handled more than 8 billion yuan.
On the 19th, the prosecutor led a team to search Heping East Road, Jiayi City and Jiayi County in Taipei City, and withheld nearly 240 million yuan of cash from the mother's home in Dapu Township of Chen Nu. After bagging, the team filled the living room to allow investigators to count and move to soft hands. The prosecution has appealed to the court for detention and forbidden opinions because of Wu's involvement in Article 125 (1) of the Banking Law and other crimes, as well as the risk of escaping, colluding with accomplices or witnesses.
