Maldives Plot: Billions in Cash Laundered Through Central Bank

Stunning Revelation Uncovered

Investigations have revealed a massive plot to launder billions of dollars through the central bank of a small Asian nation, involving high-ranking government officials and reclusive businessmen from across Asia.

The Scheme

According to sources, the plot began with the identification of a country in Asia where the money could be laundered through its central bank. A key player in the scheme was Faidzan Hassan, a Malaysian businessman with ties to the region.

• Hassan allegedly worked with Tan Kuan Yew, a mysterious figure who flew back and forth between Kuala Lumpur and Male, the capital of the Maldives.
• The duo enlisted the help of Abdul Hakam Hadi, another Malaysian businessman, and Rosihan Yacub, a Singapore-based entrepreneur.

Creating the Structure

The plot involved creating a company structure, obtaining government approvals, and arranging logistics for the massive cash transfer. In January 2015, Tan Kuan Yew flew to Male with a mysterious “Mr. Hans” and met with Tourism Minister Adeeb and Finance Minister Abdulla Jihad.

The Cash Trail

Sources close to the investigation claim that the cash was coming from Iran, and Faidzan Hassan even visited Tehran at this time, posting photos of himself standing in snow on his Facebook account.

Expert Analysis

Robert Palmer, an anti-corruption expert, has described the scheme as “unusual” due to its massive scale and use of physical cash. He noted that corrupt governments often use their central banks as “piggy banks” to take out money, but this amount is exceptional.

Denials and Silence

Despite mounting evidence, the Maldives government failed to respond to a request for comment at the time of publication. Tan Kuan Yew, Abdul Hakam Hadi, Faidzan Hassan, and Rosihan Yacub deny any wrongdoing and claim that no money was moved.

Questions Remain

The investigation has raised more questions than answers, leaving many wondering whether the massive cash transfer did indeed take place and what its implications may be for global financial stability.
