State prosecutors deposited in court the first formal charges against seven implicated in a case of fraud and laundering of assets using virtual currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indictment from the National District Attorney’s Office, represented by incumbent prosecutor Rosalba Ramos, and prosecutors Massiel Mar\u00eda L\u00f3pez, Elvira Rodr\u00edguez and Magalys S\u00e1nchez Guzm\u00e1n, indicates that 111 victims were swindled for US$471,154.00 and RD$4,610,492.00. The prosecutors charge that the assets were later laundered through a financial pyramid scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 Luis Feitosa Santos, Gabriel Eduardo G\u00f3mez Otero, Guari\u00e9n Jes\u00fas Ariza Lluberes, Guari\u00e9n Buenaventura Ariza Garc\u00eda, Ronny Rafael Mart\u00ednez Taveras, Aaron David Taveras V\u00e9lez and Bramna Elizabeth Leger Burgos are charged with these criminal acts. According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, from 2014 onwards, they were structuring a criminal organization that, through the use of misleading advertising and the use of electronics and telecommunications media, managed to attract victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fraudulent business scheme created by the defendants was promoted to the public as a business opportunity to make money by trading in virtual currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigations carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office revealed that the assets were laundered through the pyramid companies IfreeX, Wishclub, i7Group, Royals Club Live, Alive Club, Tradingwaves Fusion, Bit Trader Banking, and finally My Trader Coin and Money Free, through the digital portals: https:\/\/mytradercoin.com and https:\/\/office.moneytfreeworld.club<\/p>\n\n\n\n
