The ringleader of Britain’s biggest ever money-laundering gang has been jailed after a “colossal” criminal enterprise was broken up by police.
Abdulla Alfalasi, 47, an Emirati national, enlisted dozens of couriers in his role at the helm of the gang. In total they smuggled more than £100m of dirty cash out of the UK to Dubai between April 2019 and November 2020.
