A woman has been spared jail after taking 'positive steps' in her life after laundering more than £70,000 for a drugs gang. Donna Robinson moved money for a gang dealing cannabis, due to be sentenced next month, Manchester Crown Court heard, amounting to £70,675.
Robinson, 42, had no previous convictions and was of 'good character' before she began a relationship with one member of the gang in 2019. From then she laundered money for the group which "she knew was aware was connected to drugs," according to prosecutor Neil Fryman.
He told the court that on one occasion she collected £32,000 off a man in Wrexham who had bought cannabis off her partner. At a later date her then partner asked how much money she was storing at his house, which totalled to £38,000.
