Bridlington Man Arrested In Money Laundering Investigation


https://www.yorkshirecoastradio.com/news/local-news/2998091/bridlington-man-arrested-in-money-laundering-investigation/

 

A man from Bridlington has been arrested as part of a multi-million pound money laundering investigation.

He is part of nine suspects arrested as part of a National Crime Agency investigation into an organized crime group (OCG) smuggling money out of the UK to Dubai hidden in suitcases.

Eight were arrested yesterday at addresses in Bridlington, Cleckheaton, Bradford and Dewsbury, NCA investigators believe the nine men are part of an organized crime group that smuggled millions of pounds out of UK airports last year.

Nine linked suspects were previously arrested by Border Force officers trying to smuggle money out of the UK, and a further six suspects have been arrested and questioned about their suspected roles as money-laundering facilitators and co-ordinators.

In total, with yesterday's activity there have been 24 arrests linked to this investigation. As part of the wider investigation into the OCG, £2.3m has been seized.

It is the second time in a week that the NCA has publicised arrests and charges connected with money being smuggled to Dubai through UK airports.

Last Thursday the agency announced the charging of 10 suspects – in an unrelated operation - believed to be part of an OCG that has laundered £15.5m from the UK over three years.

NCA operations manager Jon Hughes said:

“Border Force have done excellent work preventing the money leaving the UK and we have a series of lines of enquiry to pursue and are working effectively with our partners in Dubai Police.

Organized crime groups rely on money launderers and cash is their lifeblood. We believe we have significantly disrupted an extensive crime group responsible for trying to wash drugs money.”

The National Economic Crime Centre (NECC) – which was set up to bolster the UK’s fight against economic crime - is assisting the investigation and using its unique role in coordinating the response to cash smuggling with international partners.
