Keshwarsingh Nadan (36 years old), residing in Flic-en-Flac, was apprehended by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) yesterday where he was questioned until very late in the evening.

According to initial findings, the suspect, who calls himself Hacker, holds significant assets in foreign currencies, housed in two bank accounts. These funds, the origin of which remains unexplained at this stage, are considered to potentially come from criminal activities. Investigators favor the trail of illicit funds requiring in-depth checks regarding their traceability.

As part of this case, a search operation at Hacker led to the seizure of several computer equipment. Investigators suspect that these devices were used to conduct cryptocurrency transactions in a money laundering scheme. This process would aim to conceal the fraudulent origin of capital by integrating it into financial circuits, possibly with cross-border connections.

The recovered electronic media are currently being examined at the FCC forensic laboratory. These technical analyzes should make it possible to reconstruct financial flows and determine the exact role of the suspect in this alleged network. Investigations continue.
