A man who laundered money in a business deal with ex-Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha, has been ordered to repay \u00a326.5m by Jersey\u2019s Royal Court.<\/p>\n

Raj Arjandas Bhojwani, an Indian, laundered \u00a328m through the Jersey branch of the Bank of India.<\/p>\n

He was jailed in 2010 for eight years, but in February this was cut to six years for Bhojwani\u2019s good character.
The money was laundered in a business deal with the late Nigerian military dictator who died in 1998.<\/p>\n

The Royal Court ordered the confiscation of \u00a326.5m and for Bhojwani to contribute to the prosecution costs.<\/p>\n

A statement released by the Royal Court said it represented the end of a long investigation into serious money laundering in Jersey.<\/p>\n

HM Attorney-General, Timothy Le Cocq, QC, said: \u201cThis is not the first time the attorney-general has brought a successful prosecution for money laundering and we hope that it will send out a clear message that Jersey will deal very seriously with such offences.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
