Three men behind the largest seizure of fake cash ever in the UK that saw £12 million of counterfeit notes flooding Britain have been ordered to pay back around £200,000.
Phillip Brown, 56, John Evans, 40, and Nick Winter, 61, were jailed for over 21 years between them over the conspiracy to run a printing press out of an office in Beckenham, south east London.
It is believed the defendants made millions by selling the knock-off money to other criminals, with the Bank of England removing notes with a total face value of over £1.9 million from UK circulation.
