Espinho Beach Residences
Mozambican Reshma Abacassamo, whose husband was arrested by the FBI, participated in the Mozambican Society DTCN – Business with Domingos Correia, client of Luís Montenegro’s family company.
A former partner of Domingos Correia, one of Spinumviva’s confirmed clients, is currently the target of an international warrant and accused by the Mozambican authorities and the FBI of involvement in crimes such as criminal association, laundering of capital, tax fraud and terrorism financing.
According to the newspaper, the Mozambican Reshma Abacassamowhose husband was arrested by the FBI, he participated in the Mozambican Society DTCN – Business, which acquired the land of the former Sporting Clube de Espinho field in January 2023.
From the initiative was born the 60 million euros project that is now in the center of the controversy: the luxury real estate project Espinho Beach Residenceswhich promises to bring to the market 240 apartments distributed by five blocks by the end of this year.
Reshma Abacassamo abandoned society in February 2024 and his disappearance coincided with the arrest of her husband, Norolamin Gulam, also businessman and Mozambican, captured by the FBI in the United States as part of a secret operation, advances the morning.
Gulam confessed to being involved in a capital bleaching scheme associated with the drug traffickingwhich moved more than $ 550,000 in fraudulent financial transactions that connected Portugal to the US.
Beyond the connection to the Espinho, Gulam and Abacassamo venture had business interests in Portugalnamely in the companies GM Polymer and Tagus Recycling, both linked to plastics recycling, but without relevant activity in recent years.
The couple, who settled in Portugal in 2013 after financial problems in Mozambique – where the Gulam family Maiaia group left a bank debt of about $ 50 million – became the target of that country’s authorities. Last July, the Maputo City Judicial Court ordered searches and seizures in Mozabanco, collecting documentation and assets associated with the couple and other figures and companies suspected of involvement in economic crimes.
The dimension of the case led to the constitution of 40 defendantsbetween national and foreign, including Portuguese, and 48 companies. 54 properties were seized, while six defendants are in pre -trial detention and several others are in an uncertain part, as is the case of Abacassamo.
Although the construction of the Espinho venture continues without the participation of Abacassamo, the initial connection of the businesswoman and her husband to the business raises questions about the origin of the funds and the impact that these investigations may have in the course of the millionaire project.
