The family of a major drug dealer convicted of being part of a £180 million money laundering conspiracy is facing having to hand over four houses.
The High Court was told that relatives of Alam Zeb Khan must give up a portfolio of properties in Birmingham and Northern Ireland funded by his criminal enterprises.
Alam Zeb Khan, of Birmingham, served sentences starting in 2000 for heroin smuggling, in 2012 for a cocaine supply plot and in 2013 for money laundering. However, following his latest conviction, the National Crime Agency (NCA) went after his family’s assets.
Alam Zeb Khan was part of a A gang of 32 men who laundered more than £180 million for drug traffickers which was jailed for a total of 140 years in 2014.
The huge money laundering scam saw a staggering £44 million deposited into a single bank in Small Heath.
The racket was smashed by National Crime Agency officers, who filmed bags of cash being exchanged in Birmingham.
