Cops tackling money laundering in Greater Manchester have now seized more than £1 million, the Manchester Evening News can exclusively reveal.
Officers from GMP’s economic crime unit have been working on Operation Falcon — as it is known — for roughly a year. The project has included establishing a dedicated money laundering team, which has been set up to disrupt the practice.
Money laundering ‘often funds more serious and organised crime in Greater Manchester’, a spokesperson for the force said. To date, detectives working on Operation Falcon have confiscated £1,118,000.
