Mr Ramzan was convicted on 26 June 2002 at Leeds Crown Court after an operation by HM Customs & Excise. On 28 June 2002 he was given a 12-year prison sentence. The prosecution contended that Mr Ramzan was involved in laundering millions of pounds of drug money through his Halifax travel company using the “hawala” banking system. Four other people were convicted and another pleaded guilty to conspiracy offences in the same proceedings. CCRC Operation Brandfield
