The Sûreté du Québec announced
on Wednesday the arrest of a suspected fraudster, specialist of a scenario
called “Black money scam,” in which victims are invited to participate in
cleaning soiled banknotes, then robbed during the operation.
Cyrille Ngongang, 49, was caught in downtown Montreal on Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment.

This is not the first time
Cyrille is being arrested for this same crime. He had already been arrested for
this very crime by the SQ on January 19th 2016. He could regain his freedom
under strict bail conditions.
There are several variations of the “Black money” scenario, but all involve a lot of so-called cash that has been stained with a dye or other colorant.
