In a dramatic turn of events, Rima Ray, the controversial figure behind Caribi Bleu Casino in Belize, was arrested earlier this year in the U.S. on charges of fraud and illegal gambling. Newly released police bodycam footage provides a firsthand account of the arrest, shedding light on the events that unfolded during a routine traffic stop in July. Officers discovered $340,000 in cash hidden in Ray’s Tesla, leading to a deeper investigation into his operations. This arrest marks a significant development in a case that has been under scrutiny since News Five’s investigative report in November 2024 revealed unauthorized activities at the casino, including an unregistered ATM dispensing U.S. currency. Despite initial leniency from Belizean authorities, Ray now faces prosecution under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), with his illegal operations valued at $24 million. The case underscores the international reach of financial crimes and the persistent efforts of law enforcement to bring such operations to justice.
