A network of couriers who smuggled more than £100 million ($124 million) of criminal cash in suitcases from the UK to Dubai was found guilty following a trial of one of the largest money laundering scams ever recorded.
In total 11 couriers have been convicted alongside the ringleader, the National Crime Agency said Wednesday. In less than a year, the couriers flew more than 80 flights, carrying cases full of drug money. The group communicated on a Whatsapp group called Sunshine and Lollipops.
