Between 2015 and 2016 Mohammed Zafar, 48, from Slough, along with his cousin Shehbaz Iqbal, 41, from Windsor, masterminded a year-long money laundering scam which saw millions of pounds worth of cash deposited in banks across Buckinghamshire.

In total, six people were involved in the gang, which made 2,376 deposits of cash in just 196 days, equivalent to an average deposit of over £10,943. Anti-money laundering laws mean banks do not raise questions about deposits of less than £10,000.

Along with the two main culprits were four co-conspirators, Safraz Hussain, 45, from Manchester, Anthony Foster, 41, and Shakil Abbas, 37, both from Rochdale and Zorrabar Singh, 36, from Twickenham. The six have been jailed for a total of 26 years.
