A Lynn man was arrested and charged earlier this week in federal court in Boston in connection with money laundering and visa fraud.

Imuetinyan Aikoriogie, 32, was charged with one count of making a false statement to a bank, five counts of money laundering and one count of visa and passport fraud. He appeared in federal court in Boston on March 12 and was detained pending a detention hearing.

Aikorogie allegedly falsely presented himself as someone else when he opened a checking account at TD Bank in Dracut on Sept. 28, 2016. He allegedly committed money laundering between Oct. 5 and Dec. 15, 2016, when two fraud victims in Texas wired a total of $75,500 into the TD Bank account. Aikorogie allegedly possessed on Dec. 21, 2016, a Zimbabwean passport and a U.S. visa, both in the same name he used to open the bank account, which he knew to be counterfeit.
