Earlier this year, two sisters - at the centre of a huge drug trafficking operation - were ordered to pay back hundreds of thousands of pounds of their ill-gotten gains.
Shazia Din, 44, led a Bury-based crime group, together with her older sister Abia Din, 47, a court was told. A beauty business - The Beauty Booth - was set up on the Chesham Industrial Estate in Bury as a front to launder dirty money made from the vast profits, police said.
In August, at a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing at Manchester Crown Court, the judge confiscated a total of £345,031.40 from seven individuals involved in the drugs ring, including the sisters.
