 Though the exposé of the swindle made to the public at present, but supposedly the incident was not unusual among Somalis top politicians.    

The TFG premier hurried to rebuff the alleged money laundering and pointed it as a farce and unfounded facts. Perhaps he is innocent or might have misguided complicity in it. The rumor mill and related sources divulged that individuals on country's top posts engaged in covert multimillion dollar dealing business in the overseas markets.

All involved perpetrators must be held accountable and prosecuted to justice. Their assets must be seized and returned to the public. They are wicked with no compassion to their people who are suffering in wars, famine and diseases.
