A HEROIN dealer who lived 'an extremely lavish lifestyle' using more than £300,000 of laundered drug money has been handed another prison sentence.
Mahmood Hussain, 45, from Rochdale, was locked up for 13 years in 2019 after being convicted and sentenced for supplying heroin with a street value of over £6 million.
After he was charged with those offences specialist officers immediately began probing his financial affairs, spending months scouring his accounts.
They found he owned no houses, earnt 'very little from three car businesses he did own and had virtually no money in his own bank accounts.
Yet at his home, designer clothes, handbags, shoes and jewellery worth thousands of pounds were all found. It was also discovered he had funded deposits, home improvements and mortgage payments on two houses that were in the names of family members.
