Early morning disruption to tackle suspected money laundering in Greater Manchester results in cash
Greater Manchester Police's Economic Crime Unit executed two simultaneous warrants, arresting two men aged 42 and 48 on suspicion of money laundering. The operation, part of a 20-month crackdown, targeted individuals involved in high-level money laundering linked to organised immigration crime. £3,500 in cash was seized, and two properties were searched. Detective Inspector Sarah Langley emphasized the unit's commitment to tackling money laundering and urged public vigilance.
Two men were arrested Tuesday morning in Greater Manchester as part of a 20-month investigation into high-level money laundering connected to organized immigration crime.
The Economic Crime Unit executed simultaneous warrants that netted a 42-year-old and a 48-year-old suspect, who remain in custody for questioning. Officers seized £3,500 in cash while searching two properties.
Detective Inspector Sarah Langley, who leads the Money Laundering Team, said the arrests mark continued progress in dismantling financial networks that fuel organized crime. “Those who choose to launder money on behalf of criminals are equally as culpable on bringing violence and destruction to local communities,” Langley said. “We will work with this same momentum into the new year, seizing cash and assets from those who wish to harm our communities.”
Police are urging residents to report suspicious financial activity online at www.gmp.police.uk or by calling 101.
