Three 'gangmasters' jailed for money laundering
Three men who were operating as gangmasters in Cambridgeshire, controlling hundreds of illegal workers, have been jailed for money-laundering today.
David Mutch, 58, from Soham, John Carter, 58, from Caldecote, and Ruslan Kulish, 28, from Ely, were jailed today at King's Lynn Crown Court for concealing or transferring the proceeds of criminal conduct and deception.
Mutch was sentenced to six years, Carter was handed down four-and-a-half years and Kulish was jailed for seven years.
The three hired out more than 250 illegal workers to small businesses which netted the gang around £100,000 a month. In total the trio brought in around £4 million, which they laundered by acquiring property and siphoning money into around 30 bank accounts, the court heard.
Veronica Linuza, 27, and Viktoriya Kulish, 24, both from Ely, were also handed down sentences of two years and nine months for related charges. Denis Lyashkov, 27, received three years for concealing or transferring the proceeds of criminal conduct and deception.
Veronica Linuza, Viktoriya Kulish, Ruslan Kulish and Denis Lyashkov, who are all from Eastern European countries will be deported after completing their sentences.
