Police Professional :: News :: £48m money laundering gang jailed: "gang of criminals who laundered more than £48 million of other organised gangs’ criminal profits were jailed at Isleworth Crown Court yesterday following an international investigation by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
The gang used an online money transfer business as a front to clean up huge amounts of criminal cash which was sent to Dubai. It is believed the money was then sent to Pakistan.
Tanveer Hussain Jaffery and Naveed Ahmad, both of Stoke-on-Trent, were the ringleaders of a gang who ran an online money transfer business called R2PK.com. Coded text messages were sent by criminals based all over the UK and couriers were dispatched to collect hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash.
The two couriers, Mohammed Umer Farooq and Syed Yasir Abbas Shah, both of East London, collected the dirty money which was then deposited into different branches of UK banks in amounts of £25,000 or less, allowing the gang to stay below the radar - a process known to law enforcement officials as smurfing."
