In the interest of the public
Hugo Sluimer, a Dominican Republic public figure from Woerden, the Netherlands, was new to the world of high-stakes real estate investments. As an investor in Blue Key Investments, LLC (Miami) he reportedly contributed $1 million to the company's record-breaking transaction: the purchase and sale of the Setai penthouse B in Miami Beach for a gross profit of $12 million within a short period of time.
In 2018, Sluimer and his partner Mikko Pakkanen were accused of money laundering and tax evasion related to Blue Key Investments, LLC and Setai PH B transactions. Pakkanen, the boss, allegedly appointed Sluimer to be the offshore lender in charge of siphoning off the real estate profits tax free through offshore structures. Then Sluimer would distribute the tax-free profits back to Pakkanen, himself and several other Finnish investors through a sophisticated web of companies. Sluimer sued for slander in order to save his, Pakkanen’s and Blue Key Investments, LLC’s reputation. Unfortunately for Sluimer and Pakkanen the case was dismissed.

Even after ICS and van Lienden were named in multiple news outlets in connected to Money Laundering, Fraud and corruption, Sluimer and Pakkanen continued the relationship.
