What role does the Danish sports food store of Mo Bicep play in the money laundering store in which he is a suspect? The store in a residential area of Copenhagen has only existed for a few months, and there would have been few customers during that period. “They were almost never open and there were suspicious people walking around all the time.”
Mo Bicep (real name Mohamed Lemhadi) was arrested last week on suspicion of money laundering. His administration, car and other lasting things have been taken, the judiciary has seized his villa in Breda. In the meantime, Lemhadi is free again, although he remains a suspect. One of the first things he did when he was home: remove all photos and social media accounts from his Danish shop.
Joey Bravo
It is November 2024 when Lemhadi proudly reports that he has opened a store in Copenhagen. “A dream come true,” he calls it. “Today I proudly look back on the opening of our case in Denmark. What started as a vision has grown into something that is bigger than I ever had to dream.”
Many photos follow from the building in Copenhagen. Well -known friends of Lemhadi, including the convicted influencer Joey Bravo (real name Karwan Talei), come by to celebrate the opening. Lemhadi has Danish staff in the business, on paper the store is run by two Danes: a man with a construction company and a woman who previously had a candy store.
‘Almost never open’
But soon it becomes quiet around the store. Almost nothing is shared on social media and the trips from Lemhadi to the Danish capital have also stopped. A local resident is not surprised: “This address was previously used for money laundering, there is no doubt about that. Hairdressers come and go in that building, and there are constantly ‘gang members’ in cars,” he writes on internet forum Reddit.
Another local resident adds: “The funny thing is, I recently talked about it with my girlfriend, how suspicious this looks like. Why would someone want to open such a store at such a location? They were almost never open and there were suspicious people who were full of trucks.”
For rent
What the exact role of the store is in the money laundering store around Lemhadi remains unclear. Both Lemhadi itself and the Public Prosecution Service (OM) and the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) do not want to say anything about the case. The owner of the Danish store says when asked that the store was closed due to ‘hard business’. He denies that the police have something to do with it.
Striking: one day after the release of Mohamed Lemhadi, all SocialMedia accounts from MB Nutrition Denmark are removed. Also the photos that were visible on Google of the store are suddenly no longer visible. The property is for rent, interested parties can report via Facebook. The landlord says he can say nothing about the previous tenant.
