Two arrested in money laundering case, says Police

Officers from the financial crime unit of the Royal Gibraltar Police have executed search warrants at the offices of a local company management firm, which resulted in the arrest of a 63-year old company director and a 46-year old company secretary.
"The investigation relates to an ongoing enquiry into false accounting, concerning the attempted deposit of funds into a local bank and of laundering the proceeds of crime," said a spokesman.
Police added that there is an international dimension to this investigation as the crime from where the proceeds were derived from, took place in another jurisdiction.
During the search, computers and extensive documentation were seized.
Both persons have been granted police bail until 30 April.
The RGP said that the investigation remains open and detectives are gathering further evidence from various quarters.
