In Britain, three men sentenced to imprisonment about the largest party of seized cash, which were found in the apartment in London Fulea. This is reported by TV channel Sky News.
The police found more than five million pounds of sterling in cash (more than half a billion rubles) in the apartment of intruders. The money bundles were found in plastic bags hidden under the bed. Also, the bills were scattered on the floor. Police stated that the money was accumulated in the apartment, because the criminal group “did not know what to do with them.”
All three recognized themselves guilty of conspiracy in order to conceal and transfer the property obtained by criminal means. 36-year-old Ruslan Shamsutdinov (Ruslan Shamsutdinov) was sentenced to three years and nine months of imprisonment, 46-year-old Sergey Auzins (Sergejs Auzins) – to three years and four months. Another Figurant, 35-year-old Serwan Ahmadi, received one year and eight months of prison and 150 hours of correctional work.
According to the policeman Jason Prince, this operation has become the largest cash confiscation, which the British police had ever conducted.
Organized crime is one of the main causes of violence on our streets. Overcoming this violence is our main priority. This seizure and condemnation of these people for laundering of this money will have a serious impact on the ability of a number of criminal groups to continue their activities, “Prince said .
It is reported that the money seized will eventually go to financing the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to combat violent crimes.
