Police Launch Investigation Into 'Turkish' Barber Shops Over Money Laundering

Описание: A series of raids have been carried out and a nationwide investigation launched into barber shops, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.

It comes amid fears that some premises are being used as fronts for criminal activity such as fraud and money laundering.

Police forces across the UK have already raided a number of barber shops and seized hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The NCA said: “Intelligence linking the use of barber shops, as well as other cash-intensive businesses, to money laundering and other criminality has risen in recent years.

“To respond to this threat, the NCA has co-ordinated multi-agency law enforcement action targeting barber shops where suspicious activity has been identified, and there are possible connections to organised crime.”

Mike Graham discusses the story with Daily Mail journalist Sue Reid and drug and data interpretation expert Gary Carroll.
