A London court has sentenced three men in a money-laundering case after the British capital's police confiscated the largest amount of cash in their history at once, Sky News reports.

During the investigation, all three pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hide and transfer criminally obtained property. Ruslan Shamsutdinov, 36, was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison, Sergei Auzins (46) to three years and four months, Servan Ahmadi (35) to one year and eight months, and 150 hours of corrective labor. Data on their citizenship is not given.

The London police have been conducting an operation to expose the money laundering scheme for almost a year. According to the TV channel, as a result, the police figured out Auzins. In June 2020, Shamsutdinov was also uncovered, who was spotted carrying heavy bags from his home in Fulham. The police searched him and found "a significant amount of cash" in the bags.
