Instructed by Stephane Pendered of SEOCID (CPS), Denis Barry and Lyndon Harris prosecuted two defendants convicted of a £27m cross-border money laundering enterprise, involving large cash deposits into Post Office branches, transferred to foreign exchange companies and out of the jurisdiction. On 13 September 2024, the first two defendants received sentences of 10 years and 7 years, respectively following conviction after a trial. The offenders used a business as a legitimate front for the criminal enterprise and had produced fraudulent invoices suggestive of legitimate diamond trading.
