Sydney Pair Charged with Money Laundering Linked to Sextortion and Scams

Authorities allege the duo laundered proceeds from scams affecting over 300 victims, with investigations ongoing.

Can Mustafa Kaya, 31, and Chada Khati, 29, were arrested in Sydney by Strike Force Scottsboro officers on Tuesday morning.
The pair has been charged with recklessly dealing with the proceeds of crime with intent to conceal.
Police allege the laundered funds were linked to sextortion, cardless cash scams, business email compromise scams, and phishing schemes.
Over 300 alleged victims are connected to the scams, but neither Kaya nor Khati has been charged with conducting the scams themselves.
Both were denied bail and are scheduled to appear in Sydney courts on Wednesday as investigations continue.
