OneCoin money laundering arrests in London, UK
No offense to Jen McAdam… but talk about burying the lead.
In an “exclusive” interview with McAdam, the UK’s Metro has revealed three OneCoin arrests in London over March and April.
According to Metro, the City of London Police told them
three men were arrested in March and April on suspicion of fraud and money laundering charges in the UK in connection with an investigation into OneCoin.
I went looking on the City of London police website for confirmation, but…
The City of London and City of London Police websites are temporarily unavailable due to essential maintenance
As far as I know though this is the first public announcement of the arrests, possibly up to a month after the fact.
Who the London Police have arrested and why there was no official announcement is unclear.
As reported here on BehindMLM, London Police began investigating OneCoin back in September, 2016.
Since then there’s been no official announcements or updates on the case.
Update 26th June 2022 – Extradition proceedings in the UK have some shed some light on this case.
We know the names of two of the arrestees, not sure what’s happened to the third.
Finally TheRegister picked this up. Looking forward for the comments section of that article.

I wonder if those arrested were the scammers Dr Parwiz Daud and Mansour Tawafi?
The writer of this editorial is obviously unaware that the London Police Force are one of the best investigative forces in the world.
The fact that they took three years to investigage, shows that the scammer’s were not to found to be operating in the U.K. knowing the efficientcy of the police.
As stated, there was no prospect of finding evidence against these scammer’s opperating abroad, let alone extraditing them back to the U.K.
Get your facts right before condemning Londong Police.
From day one we’ve known OneCoin was operated by scammers out Bulgaria. Locally though millions have been stolen from UK victims by UK residents.
The issue isn’t London Police travelling to Bulgaria to make arrests, the issue is them policing locally. Or more accurately, throwing up their hands and failing to do so.
