A drugs boss and his money laundering partner have been ordered to pay back £25k after splashing their ill-gotten cash on a luxury holiday in Thailand. Christopher Williams, 32, made more than £100,000 leading a gang selling heroin and crack on the streets of Barrow-in-Furness, a court heard.
His girlfriend Lauren Callister, 26, made £4,638 helping him launder his dirty cash.
Williams and Callister, who laundered around £15,000 of dirty cash for Williams via her bank account, flew on holidays to Thailand to soak up the sun in a luxury villa. And while members of Williams' gang flooded the Cumbrian streets with drugs, Callister was sharing snaps of her posing in a bikini on a boat trip with her drug dealer boyfriend at Pileh Lagoon. It was, she said, the 'best place iv ever stayed'.
