Cocaine dealing gang gets jailed for almost 75 years

[the dark one]

Aye. Went to school with him and occasionally seen his brother who got jailed the other year in the gym

Plus they could look at the CCTV and see how much money you pump into it then question where you got it from.

This. If the plod or HMRC are already into you, a few tickets sent going to save your bacon. It will ultimately be your downfall.

Betting shops fear gambling machines are being used to launder drug money

Shame they don’t throw the same sentences at rapists and nonces. There’s probably murderers got leaner sentences than some of these.

AJ six years? Personally I think drug dealers are the worst criminals of all as they blight the lives of whole families and entire communities purely in the pursuit of cash.

No big fish will be washing their money in the bookies but probably sufficient enough to justify carrying more cash than the average person if stopped

Can't see it IMO be a fool to do it that way

In 2013 the Gambling Commission fined Coral bookmakers £90,000 in profits it made from one drug dealer who had laundered almost £1 million in its shops.

They’re not. It’s supply and demand.

If not we should be locking up landlords and bookmakers.

post 32, you can ask for one or you used to be able to

Think that boat may have sailed.. I also think suspicious gambling must be reported to the old bill now. They will give you enough rope to hang yourself for sure.

Agreed. Not to mention the links to even more unsavoury organised crime gangs and terrorism.

Surely it would be easy to catch them via CCTV though?

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Hills got fined £6.8 mil for AML failings. There'll be more and more to come this year

Going forward maybe but you overestimate how much resource they have to. Investigate lower level drug dealing / money laundering. There were 464k Suspicious Activity Reports filed to the NCA last year so they have to prioritise

Suppose like but to launder 1 million on those machines you'd have to be doing 12 hour shifts 7 days a week for years

The press exaggerate these things he wouldn't have laundered 1mil but would have had wagers amounting to that potentially if that makes sense? You stick 1k in and recycle winnings from. Low risk betting strategies - wkukd still. Take some time but doable

May have worked in past but doubt it now.

Aye but then they say it's not your receipt as you didn't collect it so its just dodgy money again but in a receipt

You're right mate Crime and joint working toolkit

Seriously I can’t see how hmrc would accept that you have won shit loads of money on a fixed odds terminal over an extended period / many thousands without having a shit load of funny cash to start with.
