The defendant was party to a conspiracy to launder some £55 million through a sophisticated international network of money laundering via Chinese underground banking.

Operation Campine was a three-year investigation led by Stoke Newington Police. Officers discovered that £55 million was laundered between February 2020 and June 2023. The scheme was aimed at students trying to bypass foreign currency controls.

A 2019 report from the National Crime Agency (NCA) said its use was probably “widespread among the Chinese diaspora in the UK”.

Will was instructed by Nick Jennaway of ITN Solicitors.
