British Women Accused Of Trying To Fly To Dubai With £2 Million Pounds

A British woman was caught trying to sneak £2 Million pounds to Dubai spread out in five suitcases.

Tara Hanlon, 30, was stopped by Border Force officials at Heathrow, The Sun reports.

It was the biggest money haul bust this year. 

Chris Philp, minister for immigration compliance and the courts, said: “This is the largest individual cash seizure at the border so far in 2020 and I am delighted with the efforts of Border Force officers. Preventing the export of undeclared cash from the UK is a vital step in clamping down on organized criminal gangs.”

Hanlon was charged with money laundering and went before Uxbridge magistrates. She will remain in custody until November 5, when she’ll have a court appearance at Isleworth crown court.

If she’s convicted she can face up to 14 years.
