Indian charged with of Money Laundering
A judge has ordered a non-resident Indian, who was convicted of money laundering after handling top of the range stolen mobile phones to celebrities, to pay back GBP 1 million of his assets gained in a criminal way. This was done after a 40-year-old Narinder Sandhu failed to prove that the money was obtained legally.
According to Police, Sandhu was ordered to pay GBP 999 713 at Isleworth Crown Court as the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit (NMPCU) investigators located the cash in an offshore bank account.
It seems to be not the 1st case for Sandhu, as in November 2007 he was convicted of money laundering at Isleworth Crown Court.
It is worth noting that the case is the largest confiscation order in a 5-year history of the NMPCU.
