Senegalese
music icon, Thione Seck has been slammed with a new lawsuit
accusing him of money laundering after millions of fake Euros and Dollars were
discovered in his house.
According
to his legal reps, he was only a victim of a fraud and claim a producer paid
the singer the fake cash as an advance for an upcoming tour.
But
BBC claims that a counterfeiting machine was reportedly found at the home of
Seck's friend who was also arrested with him.
The
singer was arrested and taken into custody on May 27 following an investigation
into large transactions in foreign currencies, according to local media.
In
court, he complained that he had been cheated of $144,000 (£90,000) by one
of the suspects of the investigation, according to the AFP news agency.
Both
men are now been charged with circulating forged foreign currency, money
laundering and conspiracy.
