Two Men Arrested in Nottingham Money Laundering, People Smuggling Probe

NCA officers executed arrests and searches at multiple addresses and business premises in Nottingham targeting a suspected organised crime group involved in money laundering and people smuggling. One man was arrested on suspicion of money laundering and people smuggling offences, with a second man additionally arrested on suspicion of offences contrary to the Economic Crime Act.

Organisations and individuals operating in sectors with heightened exposure to money laundering and people smuggling — including financial institutions, transport operators, and businesses in the Nottingham area — should ensure their due diligence and reporting procedures remain current. Any suspicions of related financial activity should continue to be reported to the NCA via the SARs portal in accordance with Proceeds of Crime Act obligations.
