A huge task force consisting of Hawks and US law-enforcement members simultaneously raided several addresses in Cape Town.
In Italy it has managed to push the Italian mafia out of former strongholds and is allegedly associated with drug smuggling and human trafficking. “Seven leaders of the Cape Town Zone of the Neo Black Movement of Africa, also known as “Black Axe,” and an eighth man who conspired with a Black Axe leader, were charged with multiple federal crimes relating to internet scams they perpetrated from SA,” read the US DOJ statement.
“Toritseju Gabriel Otubu, aka “Andy Richards,” aka “Ann Petersen,” 41, also originally from Nigeria, is charged by separate indictment with wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering conspiracy, spanning from 2016 to 2021,” the statement read. “Perry Osagiede founded the Cape Town Zone of Black Axe and worked as its zonal head, along with Izevbigie. The Black Axe defendants and other members of Black Axe took part in, and openly discussed, fraud schemes among their membership,” read the statement.
Their victims believed they were in a romantic relationship with the person using the fake profiles, and when requested their victims in the US sent money and valuable items overseas, including to SA. “In addition to laundering money derived from romance scams and advance fee schemes, the conspirators also worked to launder money from business email compromises,” the statement read.
Acting US Attorney Rachael Honig warned the American public in the statement to be on guard against online scams like these.
