Downey, of Woodbine, Md., each with one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, one count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business under federal law and one count of money transmission without a license under D.C. law.<br />E­Gold's digital currency, "E­Gold," functioned as an alternative payment system and was purportedly backed by stored physical gold. Persons seeking to use the E­Gold payment system were only required to provide a valid email address to open an E­Gold account - no other contact information was verified. Once an individual opened an E­Gold account, he/she could fund the account using any number of exchangers, which converted national currency into E­Gold. Once open and funded, account holders could access their accounts through the Internet and conduct anonymous transactions with other parties anywhere in the world.<br />The indictment alleges that E­Gold has been a highly favored method of payment by operators of investment scams, credit card and identity fraud, and sellers of online child pornography. The indictment alleges that the defendants conducted funds transfers on behalf of their customers, knowing that the funds involved were the proceeds of unlawful activity; namely child exploitation, credit card fraud, and wire (investment) fraud; and thereby violated federal money laundering statutes. The indictment further alleges that the defendants operated the E­Gold operation without a license in the District of Columbia or any other state, or registering with the federal government, and thereby violated federal and state money transmitting laws. The indictment alleges that this conduct occurred at various times from 1999 through December 2005.

Hossein Karimi Ricabadi

Police forces in the United States, Turkey, the Netherlands and Romania have worked together for three years to identify members of an international 'narco-terrorist' group that uses drug money to buy arms and explosives. But the gang could not be collapsed due to a mole under the name of 'Bozo' in the Istanbul Police Force.<br />Following the identification of the mole, all members of the crime ring were caught in operations carried out simultaneously in Turkey, the Netherlands and Romania throughout March and April. <br />A total of 345 kilograms of heroin was seized during the operation, codenamed Zumrut/Bayer. It resulted in the capture of Iranian drug baron Hossein Karimi Ricabadi 15 days ago, following his attempted escape to Austria.
