Anita Mirmohammadi, a 31-year-old woman from Finchley, North London, has been sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison at Basildon Crown Court for defrauding her employer out of £184,000 over five years. Mirmohammadi, who worked as a manager in the finance team of a Brentwood-based company, used a company credit card to fund a lavish lifestyle, including holidays to Mexico, Turkey, and Dubai, and luxury purchases from Harrods and Selfridges. Her spending also included regular purchases from Apple, Amazon, and Zara. In a separate operation, European authorities, including Europol and Spanish police, dismantled a major international money laundering network in January raids. The operation resulted in the arrest of 17 individuals, with 15 arrests in Spain and one in Belgium. The network, described as the most powerful in its field, facilitated money laundering for human traffickers and drug dealers through the hawala banking system. Authorities seized over €2.5 million in assets, including real estate, €206,000 in cash, €183,000 in cryptocurrencies, 18 vehicles, four shotguns, and various luxury goods.
