A Stirling University student who laundered tens of thousands of pounds for a Glasgow-based Chinese crime lord wept as she was jailed last week.
Xiaotong Huang, 28, laundered nearly £85,000 for the “Mr Big”, or “main nominal”, who travelled round Scotland in a Mercedes handing bags of cash to associates to clean.
For nearly two years, Huang, who was studying for a masters in publishing, paid the money into her bank accounts, transferred sums, purchased “high value luxury items”, and used crime cash to pay her Stirling University tuition and accommodation fees.
