A Leeds property developer, thought to be a gangland money launderer, surrendered £10m worth of property after a huge National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation. Mansoor Mahmood 'Manni' Hussain is believed to have laundered money for gangsters, using his property empire - with a portfolio across West Yorkshire, Cheshire and London.
The NCA believes that Mr Hussain has acted for gangsters - including a drug trafficker and a murderer - in a career spanning two decades. Investigators said that they have information linking Mr Hussain to underworld criminals, but have been unable to acquire the evidence that they would require for a conviction.
One of Mr Hussain's closest associates, according to the NCA, was Bradford gangster Mohammed Nisar Khan, known on the street as 'Meggy'. In 2019, he was jailed for life after a "ruthless and barbaric" attack on a father-of-three.
