Money Launderer Ordered to Forfeit Over Half a Million

A professional money launderer, Musabayoufu Fuati, and his accomplice, Daniel Hu, generated over $120 million through laundering for drug dealers and smugglers, operating from an Auckland office. Both served home detention sentences, and a judge has ordered Fuati to forfeit approximately $600,000 as proceeds of his criminal activities. They were arrested in 2020, prompting police to seek asset restraint under proceeds of crime legislation. Their enterprise involved using false identities and a network of disposable “money mules.”
