South Africa has emerged as a hub for alleged regional money-laundering operations of staggering proportions. | amaBhungane

, Actinic sent money abroad under the cover of so-called"ghost imports" – large forex transactions justified by apparently forged invoices from companies like Aulion.

As one banking source explained, this is the modus operandi in this line of work: a new company is set up to move money for two to three months, shut down and quickly replaced with a new, untainted vehicle. Each entity has to be understood as a piece of a much larger operation. It is not clear whether Actinic had accounts at more banks that moved yet more money in this rapid multi-pronged campaign. It did however have at least two additional accounts at Sasfin, identified in a forfeiture notice gazetted by the Reserve Bank in May this year.

This seems like a curious misstep for Jiwani, an otherwise experienced operator in the money-laundering business. An educated guess is that his appointment was made without his knowledge, to muddy the waters.First there was Babitha Sewram who was appointed as a director of Actinic on 25 March right before the company awoke from its slumber and infiltrated several banks at once. Her stint was however curiously short-lived and she resigned less than two weeks later on 5 April.

Later on, when Jiwani was mysteriously appointed way after the proverbial party was over, the paperwork to affect the change came from a provider called Salman Amla. He is linked to Actinic through Urquhart, the second apparent dummy director who saw the company through its money laundering spree. Bank statements for his firm, Saleem Ebrahim Attorneys, show how he moved millions of rands at Habib bank for entities we have identified as conduits for allegedly illicit payments abroad.

A bogus acknowledgement of debt was submitted to the Johannesburg high court and made a legitimate court order. This was then used at banks to justify forex payments.
