A Nigerian socialite, identified as Nzube Henry Ikeji, has been accused of impersonating the Crown Prince of Dubai in an elaborate romance and investment fraud scheme that allegedly cost a Romanian businesswoman more than $2.5 million.
The allegations were detailed in a recent investigation by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
According to the report, the alleged scheme began roughly three years ago when the victim, identified only as Laura, was contacted on LinkedIn by an account claiming to belong to the Dubai Crown Prince.
