Woman Arrested in Massive UK Crime Property Money Laundering Bust
Money Laundering Crackdown in Ipswich
A 43-year-old woman was arrested today by National Crime Agency officers at her home in Bull Road, Ipswich. She is suspected of laundering cash tied to a sprawling property network linked to organised crime. After being questioned, she was released under investigation.
Network Ran Over 400 Crime-Linked Properties
The woman allegedly handled money for Feng Xu, a Birmingham-based Chinese national who controlled more than 400 rental properties nationwide. These homes were used by criminal gangs for prostitution rings, cannabis farms, and housing illegal immigrants.
Kingpin Feng Xu Behind Bars
Xu was jailed for over seven years in December 2019 and is set for deportation once his sentence ends. Senior investigator Daren Nicholls said:
“We know that significant sums passed through Feng Xu’s accounts, much of which would have come from organised crime groups involved in prostitution, crime and drug production. We are determined to do all we can to track that cash and track down anyone who helped him launder it.”
The NCA continues its hunt to dismantle crime-financing networks linked to the UK’s hidden underworld.
