Zamid Dhiyab (ザミド・ディヤーブ Zamido Diyābu) was a banker for the London Bullion Market Association under the Bank of England's supervision. He dealt with the money laundering for Cosa Nostra on behalf of the Albanian Mafia until his untimely death, leaving behind the "washing machine" account that laundered the gold ingots known as "Ali Dragua."

Appearance

Dhiyab was an adult man with a stocky build and a thin mustache and chin beard. He wore a suit and dress shirt, a head bandana, and several finger rings on both hands.

History

Dhiyab used the Bank of Trade and Commerce of Europe (BTCE) and World British Finance's Panama Branch to launder money for Cosa Nostra on the Albanian Mafia's behalf, using the gold ingots that the ex-Sigurimi Albanians received from the People's Liberation Army in the 1970s. Furthermore, he had financial connections to the mining company O'Neil and Jenkins Minerals. He acted alone in his dealings to avoid risks of his operations being exposed.

The Wired Red Wild Card

In the past months before the beginning of this arc, Dhiyab had been dealing with scrap metal containing gold from Albania. Later on, while on a cruise in Malta to celebrate a deal he was about to close, he died from falling overboard and drowned, and his death was ruled as an accident by both the London police and local Malta police. Ronnie the Jaws' men found out about Dhiyab's death due to the undercover Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) detective Sammy investigating the ties between Cosa Nostra and the Albanian Mafia. When Sammy discovered that Dhiyab's mistress tried unsuccessfully to steal his assets, Cosa Nostra caught him in Thailand. Accordingly, Ronnie had Sammy interrogated and tortured to learn about Dhiyab's suspicious death being investigated by Scotland Yard as well as the mistress's attempt to pilfer Dhiyab's assets. Because Dhiyab had no friends or secondary account holders who knew about the money laundering scheme, the money could not be fished out by anyone due to the unknown location.

Thanks to Eda and Rico's intelligence gathering for Rock and Feng Yifei, they found out about the money and laundering account being stored in the BTCE, which Feng was able to hack into and access at the Roanapur City Police Station. There, Feng and Rock saw that the BTCE was merely a place which Dhiyab had frequent transactions with, whereas Dhiyab's primary bank was called World British Finance (Panama Branch). After completing the downloading of data and accessing the washing machine and its money, Feng transferred some of Dhiyab's funds to Janet Bhai to put the heat on her from Reinbach A.G., as Jane and her fellow Highwaymen framed Feng for espionage in the first place. Since Feng needed protection from future attacks by the Chinese government, Rock proposed that they give the Albanians' money and the "washing machine" to Ronnie the Jaws in exchange for Feng's safety, to which Ronnie agreed.
