Two weeks after his arrest on suspicion of money laundering, Mohamed Lemhadi, better known as the influencer Mo Bicep from Breda, open a book about the case. He talks about his arrest and indicates that he has done nothing wrong: “Much injustice was done to me, there is a good chance that they will grab more influencers.”
Lemhadi tells his story On the YouTube channel Nandoleaks from presenter and DJ Fernando Halman. It is the first time he talks to the media. He usually ignores journalists because they just want to bring him down, he says.
‘As if I am a criminal’
According to Lemhadi, the arrest on that Monday morning was faltering, he says he has experienced the whole event ‘as a dream’. After his wife and children have left his villa (‘I respect that they have waited’), the arrest team strikes.
Lemhadi just got in the car and wanted to place something on Snapchat, he says. “Suddenly I hear from all sides: hands on the wheel! Hands on the wheel! Get out!” Lemhadi tells how he was grabbed by men with balaclavas. “As if I am some criminal, or something”.
For eight hours interrogated
Then he said he was interrogated for eight hours in a row, and the next day again. “I received a lot of questions, also about things that played three, four or five years ago.” However, he denies having done anything wrong and indicates that he has receipts from all his purchases. According to him, there is no question of money laundering. “I can explain everything.”
“Also the designers items that have been taken, I just pinned that,” he says. In addition to valuable designer gear, a car has been taken and his house has been seized. “I am really wronged. And I know, the prison is full of people like that, but I really didn’t do anything.”
“I don’t give a fuck about you!”
Lemhadi has few good words for the reporting in the media. “I will never give those journalists attention, I don’t give a fuck about you!“, he says. He mentions the story about erasing all the traces of the store that he ran for a few months in Denmark ‘total nonsense’: the store just didn’t run.
About the message that his two Lamborghinis were exported abroad just before his arrest, which is evident from data from the Road Traffic Service (RDW): “I sold those cars, but they are not abroad.”
Lemhadi seems to see the case positively in spite of everything. “I am a positive boy. Hopefully I will get everything back in one or two years, then I can come back to you and then I say: you see, nothing wrong,” he tells Halman. Faith also appears to give him support: “Allah will know why this should happen to me, he has put this on my path. I believe that I had to experience this, to get life experience.”
‘Waiting for you downfall‘
As is often the case with the suspicion of money laundering or fraud, Lemhadi also points to the Dutch national character that would stand in the way of him. “Do you know what it is with the Netherlands? If you are going fast, when you are popping, then everyone has an opinion.” I told you anyway, “they say, they just wait for you downfall. “The ‘knives would all his sharpened’ to overthrow him, says the influencer.
Lemhadi therefore thinks that he is not the last to get into trouble in this way. “Chances are that they are even more influencers Get grab. You can find something with every entrepreneur. “
