The Supreme Court has granted an order in civil proceedings for the confiscation of over £1.7 million in cash seized by the RGP as part of a money laundering investigation against the tobacco wholesaler Southease Limited, says a statement from the RGP.


This order is the culmination of a protracted investigation conducted by the RGP’s Money Laundering Investigation Unit following the robbery at Southease Limited in New Harbours, back in 2016.
A further £450,000 was also ordered to be paid by the respondents to cover the costs of forensic accountants that had been contracted to assist with the investigation.
