Criminals who laundered hundreds of millions of pounds of criminal cash through a West Yorkshire scrap jewellery business have been found guilty. <br /><br />In what is believed to be the largest money laundering case ever in the UK four people were today found guilty of their part in channelling £266 million through Bradford-based company Fowler Oldfield. <br /><br />Gregory Frankel, aged 47, Daniel Rawson, aged 47, Haroon “Harry” Rashid, aged 54, and Arjun Babber, aged 32, were found guilty of money laundering following a trial at Leeds Crown Court.<br /><br />The convictions follow a painstaking investigation by West Yorkshire Police’s Economic Crime Unit which established that vast amounts of bank notes from criminal networks across the country were being laundered under a veil of legitimacy. <br /><br />Detectives unearthed large amounts of cash being credited to the bank account of Fowler Oldfield collected from three different sites: Fowler Oldfield’s own premises at an industrial-style unit at Hall Lane, Bradford, the offices of Stunt & Company, Leconfield House, Curzon St, London, and Pure Nines, New House, in Hatton Garden, London.
