3 Luxury Cars Seized by FCC in Baie-du-Tombeau Money Laundering Raid

The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) has seized three high-end luxury vehicles during an early morning raid in Baie-du-Tombeau this Wednesday, 14 January. The operation is part of a widening investigation into a money laundering ring allegedly linked to drug trafficking.

Officers confiscated a Ford Raptor, a Range Rover, and a BMW X5 from a local residence.

While the exact market value of the fleet is yet to be determined, the seizure marks a significant step in the Commission’s crackdown on illicit financial flows.

Hunt for Property Owner

The owner of the vehicles, a resident of the area, was not present when investigators arrived on the scene.

The FCC has confirmed that the individual is now “actively sought” for questioning.

Suspected Use of Nominees

A key focal point of the ongoing inquiry is the potential use of “prête-noms” (nominees) to disguise the true ownership of the assets.

Commission officials stated they have not ruled out the hypothesis that the vehicles were registered under third-party names to evade detection.

The investigation remains active as authorities work to trace the financial trail behind the luxury acquisitions.
