是阿米爾·卡吉（Ameer Cajee）於2021年因涉嫌洗錢而在瑞士被捕，同時試圖訪問他們在蘇黎世租用的保險箱

It was Ameer Cajee who was arrested in Switzerland in 2021 on suspicion of money laundering while trying to access safety deposit boxes he rented in Zurich, MyBroadband has learned.

Mybroadband了解到，是2021年因涉嫌洗錢而在瑞士被捕的Ameer Cajee，他在蘇黎世租用的保險箱。

Cajee has since left Switzerland legally, seemingly while a criminal investigation into him and his older brother Raees is still underway.

此後，卡吉（Cajee）從合法地離開了瑞士，似乎在對他和他的哥哥雷伊斯（Raees）進行的刑事調查中仍在進行中。

While Swiss authorities initially detained Cajee and seized his passport, he was later released on bail of 300,000 Swiss francs, and his passport returned.

瑞士當局最初拘留了卡吉並奪取了護照，但後來他被保釋，分別是30萬瑞士法郎，他的護照返回。

Raees and Ameer Cajee ran an investment scheme called Africrypt from 2019 until 2021, when it collapsed. They fled the country, briefly turning up in Dubai and Tanzania. The Guardian later reported that the brothers had acquired Vanuatu passports in 2020.

Raees和Ameer Cajee從2019年到2021年就制定了一項名為Africrypt的投資計劃。他們逃離了該國，短暫地在迪拜和坦桑尼亞出現。衛報後來報導說，兄弟倆在2020年購買了瓦努阿圖護照。

Their movements were unknown to most people until recently. Their current whereabouts remain secret.

直到最近，大多數人都不知道他們的動作。他們目前的下落仍然是秘密的。

MyBroadband spoke to a whistleblower and former investor who provided more detail about what went on behind the scenes, including how the Cajees orchestrated Ameer’s exit from Zurich.

Mybroadband與舉報人和前投資者進行了交談，他們提供了有關幕後發生的事情的更多詳細信息，包括Cajees如何策劃Ameer從蘇黎世退出。

Africrypt was a scheme that allowed people to deposit South African rands or cryptocurrency and earn returns as high as 13% per month on their investments.

非洲聯盟是一項計劃，允許人們存入南非蘭特或加密貨幣，並獲得每月投資的收益高達13％。

It claimed to have revolutionary trading software, developed by Raees, which used artificial intelligence to generate consistent monthly returns.

它聲稱擁有由Raee開發的革命交易軟件，該軟件使用人工智能來產生一致的每月收益。

The scheme brought in enough money for the Cajees to live large, reportedly driving around in a Lamborghini Huracan and taking up residence in the luxurious Houghton Hotel.

該計劃為Cajees帶來了足夠的錢，據報導，據報導，在蘭博基尼Huracan駕駛，並在豪華的霍頓酒店住所。

However, it all came crashing down on 13 April 2021 when the brothers notified investors that Africrypt had been hacked and all its cryptocurrency holdings stolen.

但是，這一切都在2021年4月13日崩潰了，當時兄弟倆通知投資者非洲聯盟被黑客入侵，其所有加密貨幣控股偷來了。

By May, they had fled to Dubai. Because it was the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, they could not fly to the UAE directly and had to quarantine in the Maldives for two weeks.

到5月，他們逃到了迪拜。因為這是199日大流行的中部，所以他們不能直接飛往阿聯酋，不得不在馬爾代夫隔離兩個星期。

Making headlines

成為頭條新聞

The story flew under the media radar until June 2021, when Bloomberg reported that the brothers had gone missing along with $3.6 billion in crypto assets, which at the time would have amounted to about R51 billion.

這個故事在媒體的雷達下飛到了2021年6月，當時彭博社報導說，兄弟倆已經失踪了36億美元的加密貨幣資產，當時的加密貨幣資產約為510億蘭特。

This initial estimate of the amount allegedly stolen turned out to be completely inaccurate. The real amount was closer to $40–$50 million (around R710 million).

據稱被盜數額的最初估計是完全不准確的。實際金額接近40億美元（約合7.1億蘭特）。

Regardless, the news reports resulting from Bloomberg’s coverage did exactly what victims had hoped.

無論如何，由彭博社報導所產生的新聞報導確實做到了受害者所希望的。

Raees and Ameer’s faces were soon plastered all over the Internet. A favourable profile in a local magazine was quietly removed from the publication’s website.

Raees和Ameer的臉很快就在互聯網上塗上了抹灰。本地雜誌中的一個有利的個人資料已從出版物的網站上悄悄刪除。

In an instant, they had gone from young hotshots and relative unknowns to accused scammers on the lam.

瞬間，他們從年輕的熱門人物和相對未知的人變成了林中的被告騙子。

According to the whistleblower, the brothers fled to Amsterdam to deal with the fallout, which included a lawsuit to liquidate Africrypt, potential civil damages claims, and criminal proceedings.

根據舉報人的說法，兄弟倆逃到阿姆斯特丹處理後果，其中包括清算非洲聯盟的訴訟，潛在的民事損害賠償索賠和刑事訴訟。

Sometime between June and August 2021, the brothers travelled to Zurich, likely on their Vanuatu passports. On 31 August 2021, they rented safety deposit boxes where they stored hardware wallets.

在2021年6月至2021年8月之間的某個時候，兄弟倆可能在瓦努阿圖護照上前往蘇黎世。 2021年8月31日，他們租用了保險箱存儲硬件錢包。

Swiss authorities arrested Ameer on 9 November 2021 while he was visiting the lockers. They seized the assets and placed Cajee in pre-trial detention until 9 May 2022. Days before his release, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Canton of Zurich applied for an extension.

瑞士當局於2021年11月9日訪問儲物櫃時逮捕了阿米爾。他們抓住了資產，並將Cajee置於預審拘留中，直到2022年5月9日。在他獲釋的前幾天，蘇黎世州州檢察官辦公室申請了延期。

As an alternative, they asked for a security deposit of CHF300,000 (around R5 million at the time) and for a freeze on Cajee’s South African and Vanuatu passports. The Court of Coercive Measures also ordered Cajee not to leave Swiss territory.

作為替代方案，他們要求保證300,000瑞士法郎（當時約500萬蘭特），並凍結了Cajee的南非和瓦努阿圖護照。強迫措施的法院還下令卡吉不要離開瑞士領土。

Cajee’s house arrest in Switzerland was extended twice — first until 23 November 2022, then until 25 February 2023.

Cajee在瑞士的逮捕被逮捕了兩次，首先是2022年11月23日，然後直到2023年2月25日。

While the brothers fought Ameer’s detention in Zurich, an “anonymous investor” was trying to settle with victims back in South Africa.

當兄弟倆與阿米爾（Ameer）在蘇黎世的拘留中作戰時，“匿名投資者”試圖與南非的受害者定居。

Around November 2021, the investor offered victims $5 million in exchange for dropping their cases against the brothers.

2021年11月左右，投資者向受害者提供了500萬美元，以換取對兄弟倆的案件。

According to the whistleblower, the investor was the Cajees themselves, who used a company called Pennython Project Management as a front. They said the Cajees had raised the money for the settlement by promising a new group of people massive investment returns and then absconding with the funds.

根據舉報人的說法，投資者是Cajees本身，他將一家名為Pennython Project Management的公司作為戰線。他們說，Cajees通過承諾將一群新的人投資回報，然後與資金潛逃，從而籌集了解決方案。

Coast-to-Coast Special Investigations (CTCSI), which represented a group of investors, reported that the deal was closed on 18 September 2022.

代表一組投資者的海岸到海岸特別調查（CTCSI）報告說，該交易於2022年9月18日完成。

Thanks to Switzerland’s secretive approach to financial crime investigations, victims had no idea the settlement would help strengthen Ameer’s appeal against his continued detention in Zurich.

得益於瑞士對金融犯罪調查的秘密方法，受害者不知道該和解將有助於加強對他在蘇黎世繼續拘留的上訴。

The Zurich Public Prosecutor fought Cajee’s motion, arguing that cases in South Africa being settled did not mean he was innocent. However, his passports were ultimately returned, and the

蘇黎世的檢察官與卡吉的動議作鬥爭，認為南非的案件並不意味著他是無辜的。但是，他的護照最終被返回，
