A man has been sentenced for money laundering in Aylesbury.
Vincent Marimanzi, aged 21, of Prince of Wales Road, Coventry, was ordered to pay £250 in compensation and given a community order at Aylesbury Crown Court on Friday (26/1).
Marimanzi’s community order means he must complete 100 hours of unpaid work.
In November 2021, the victim, a woman in her seventies, from Aylesbury, was asked to transfer £15,000 into Marimanzi’s bank account.
Marimanzi converted the money into cryptocurrency, except for £100, which he passed through his account.
On 29 June 2022, officers executed a warrant at Marimanzi’s address and he was arrested the same day.
Marimanzi was charged on 8 September 2023.
Senior investigating officer Detective Constable Sandrine Bonomo-Fox, of the Central Fraud Unit, said: “We take reports of money laundering offences seriously.
“If anyone believes they are a victim of money laundering you can contact us by calling 101 or by making a report online.
“If you do not wish to speak to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and they will take your information 100% anonymously.”
