Real Housewives of Cape Town star “Mrs Leo”, real name Loveline Abinokhauno is set to learn her fate after she and three others were found guilting in a dating scam fraud.
The former reality tv star was arrested earlier this year on charges related to a fraudulent dating scam that involved her husband and three other suspects. Loveline has now been found guilty of fraud in connection to the elaborate international dating scheme that was used to defraud unsuspecting women.
It is alleged that her husband, Innocent Abinokhauno is the mastermind behind the scam that defrauded two women in North America more than R3.2 million.
Loveline was found guilty alongside her co-accused Uguchukwu Nawachukwu, Stanley Osakwe and Bright Odumo Ogedengbe in the Cape Town Regional Court. From flashy “soft life” to convicted fraudster! Something now even her fans saw coming. Her husband Innocent, has absconded and is reportedly hiding in his home country Nigeria.
According to evidence presented before the court, the women were introduced through online dating platforms to a man who claimed to be an American engineer working on a project in South Africa. The supposed engineer developed online relationships with the victims before claiming to face a series of unexpected financial emergencies. The women believed they were helping someone they trusted by sending him money into various accounts, even one linked to Glory Restoration Assembly Church. The church was used as front to launder money.
Details of their sentencing and date are yet to be handed down as proceedings at the court are still being held.
