    An Auckland businessman whose bank account was used for a term-deposit scam has been found guilty of money laundering

    An Auckland businessman whose bank account was used for a term-deposit scam has been found guilty of money laundering

    7 March 2025
    Overseas fraudsters signed up two victims in 2022, to put nearly two-million-dollars in a fictitious company, through Carel Johannes Viljoen 's account.

    He pocketed about 61-thousand dollars and claims he checked the arrangement was above board, but he and Westpac were "fooled".

    The court's ruled him reckless and he'll be sentenced in June - with penalties of up to seven years in prison.

    About 500-thousand dollars was recovered.
