She claimed the money was to 'boy clothes' but it was actually for a criminal gang
An organised crime kingpin who recruited women from Leeds as cash mules to smuggle over £100m of drug money into Dubai has been jailed.
The group, believed to be made up of around 36 couriers from across the country, are believed to have carried out 83 trips and earned around £12million. Emirati-national Alfalasi admitted money laundering and was jailed for nine years and seven months today. In messages to a contact Hanlon bragged: "3 big ones…with this wage and the next my debts go bye," other messages referred to the job as a "perfect life a few days in the sun and a few at home."
He said Muhammad Geyas Ilyas, 29, from Slough, Berkshire, was arrested in February 2020 at Heathrow after arriving from a flight in Dubai. Items such as mouthwash and coat hangers would also be placed in the suitcases to help avoid detection if the suitcases were X-rayed.
