A MAN jailed for three years for laundering more than BD55,000 has lost his appeal.
The 35-year-old Indian is currently serving time at the Jaw Reformation and Rehabilitation Centre for running a vice racket.
The man and two Indian women were jailed for three years and fined BD2,000 on April 16 last year.
The High Criminal Court in September jailed the man for three more years after finding him guilty of laundering BD56,967 gained from prostitution and human trafficking between 2015 and 2019.
He was also fined BD56,967.
The defendant lodged an appeal against his conviction at the Supreme Criminal Appeals Court, which was rejected yesterday.
A forensic investigation into the defendant’s financials revealed that he had made 215 money transfers worth BD27,947.751 to different people in India, in addition to 35 remittances worth BD11,331.400 to his account in India.
Court documents also revealed that the man had paid BD138 to BD140 in cash instalments from November 2016 to November 2019 towards his loan.
