Two Nigerians Jailed in Ireland Over €6m Global Money Laundering Network
Two Nigerian men, Elike Francis Ogbuefi (42) and Steven Silvester (32), have been sentenced in Ireland. A jury found them guilty of running a sophisticated scheme that laundered more than €6 million. Investigators say they recruited bank accounts to receive funds from romance frauds and smishing scams. Phone records revealed Ogbuefi’s instructions to use Irish names to avoid suspicion. Garda officers also seized an instruction video and photos showing him supervising transactions. Judge Martin Nolan handed Ogbuefi a nine-year term for directing the criminal gang. Silvester received seven and a half years for his supporting role. The court noted both men were first-time offenders with strong family ties and urged them to reform.
