A German court docket has sentenced OneCoin promoter and cash launderer Frank Ricketts to 5 years in jail.
As tweeted by Johan von Mirbach, producer of the CryptoQueen docu collection, Ricketts’ spouse Manon Hubenthal acquired 4 years.
Disgraced lawyer Martin Martin Breidenbach, who assisted Ricketts and Hubenthal with laundering OneCoin Ponzi funds, was sentenced to 2 years and 9 months.
Ricketts, Hubenthal and Breidenbach had been indicted by the Bielefeld Public Prosecutor’s Workplace in November 2020.
Following prolonged delays, the trial finally kicked off in September 2021. Additional delays noticed Ricketts’ trial blow out to over two years.
Primarily based on introduced proof on the time, in November 2021 a Decide suggested Ricketts to plead responsible.
I’m unclear on whether or not Ricketts’ sentencing was a results of a late responsible plea, or whether or not he rolled the cube on a verdict.
Pending additional updates, whether or not there was a financial part to Ricketts’ sentencing can be unclear.
