A former model who stashed £5million in cash in her luggage for a flight to Dubai is facing jail as part of a smuggling ring. Jo Emma Larvin, 44, was said to be involved in one of the biggest money laundering cases ever in Britain.
The operation saw a gang transport over £100million in crooked money from the UK to the United Arab Emirates. Four other people, including Larvin's partner, Jonathan Johnson, 55, were found guilty of money laundering, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Beatrice Auty, 26, and Amy Harrison, 27, were also convicted on Tuesday, April 25, in a trial at Isleworth Crown Court. So far the ring stands at 11 couriers convicted over shipments of cash that were vacuum packed and hidden in suitcases on long-haul flights from Heathrow Airport in London.
