EBAY TRADER JAILED FOR IMPORTING COUNTERFEIT DVDS AND MONEY LAUNDERING

...Detective Sergeant Mick Richards from the Sussex Police Economic Crime Unit said “I am pleased that the sentence was passed. It is clear that Finch knew he was acting unlawfully and was earning a substantial salary for acting as an intermediary. He tried to minimise his role within the organised crime group, but his role was instrumental in over a quarter of million pounds being transferred to overseas criminals. We have worked in close partnership with FACT throughout this investigation and will always look to pursue those criminal networks and to strip offenders of their criminal assets”

Kieron Sharp, FACT Director General, added “FACT has worked closely with Sussex Police to bring this case to court and the prison sentence reflects the serious nature of the criminality. This case also highlights the way that organised criminal gangs are using the internet to generate and launder vast criminal profits through auction sites and other online activities. I would also like to commend Sussex Police Economic Crime Unit for their work on this case.”
