Miami FBI Agents Accuse Engineer in North Korean Money Laundering Scheme
Federal authorities in Miami have charged Victor Jose Tomassoni, a Venezuelan-Italian civil engineer, with conspiracy to commit money laundering and concealment money laundering. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a scheme to launder money generated by North Korean IT workers who were evading U.S. sanctions. These workers posed as non-North Korean foreign and U.S.-based remote workers to secure contracts from companies worldwide, including in the U.S. The FBI claims that Tomassoni's companies received over $550,000 from this network, with Tomassoni allegedly taking a 3% cut on transactions. The scheme involved using fake identities and shell companies to disguise the origins of the funds.
