Liverpool money laundering gang who went to Vegas while on benefits must pay back more than £150,000 of their ill-gotten gains
Thu, Jan 8, 2015
A Liverpool gang jailed for money laundering were ordered to pay back more than £150,000 of their ill-gotten gains.
Four members of a six-strong group responsible for a £350,000 plot appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today.
However, the gang – originally sentenced two years ago after police uncovered cash stored in bundles at a house in Huyton – will pay less than half of this amount.
The court heard Edna Fairclough, 55, claimed incapacity benefit despite living a luxury lifestyle including a family holiday to Las Vegas, expensive jewellery and handbags.
Police who raided the home she shared with ringleader Stanley Feerick, in Longreach Road, Dovecot found Louis Vuitton, Mulberry and Prada handbags as well as Vivienne Westwood jewellery and a gold diamond ring valued at £27,885.
Everton fan Feerick, 60, had a personalised licence plate, EFC1, worth £26,175, plus a £4,083 season ticket in Goodison Park’s Brian Labone executive lounge.
During the court case in July 2013, William Baker, prosecuting, said Feerick orchestrated two criminal cash transactions.
On February 16, 2011 police raided the house in Longreach Road and found £126,005 in cash in separate packages.
They included £89,800 in a bag in the kitchen, £13,940 in a carrier bag on the living room floor and £12,890 in a Harvey Nichols shopping bag in the master bedroom.
Mr Baker said a number of Scottish banknotes found among them were telltale signs of money laundering.
Interviewed by police, Fairclough said a “big ugly man who looked like Shrek” dropped off the cash, but that she did not know him or what the money was for.
Police found that man was Ian Shephard, 37, of Manchester Road, Prescot, and discovered pictures on his computer of him socialising with Fairclough.
In the second transaction, on March 15, Feerick arranged for Robert Sefton, 54, of Sandringham Road, Tuebrook, to deliver £224,810 in cash.
Feerick, who claimed to supplement his income by selling fairground rides, initially claimed the cash seized at his home was his life savings.
He was sentenced to two years in prison, while Fairclough was jailed for 15 months, Sefton for 16 months and Shepherd for 12 months.
Mr Baker yesterday said Feerick had benefited by his crime to the tune of £59,682.81, but only £6,500 of this could now be traced.
He must pay the money within six months or face three months in prison.
He said Fairclough had accumulated £135,010 and would have to pay back £123,395.43, also by July 7, or face 28 months in prison.
The court heard Shepherd had gained £80,628.96 and would need to pay back £19,805 in the same time frame or be jailed for 12 months.
And Sefton, who earned £4,599.14, must pay back this amount in full or go to prison for three months.
All money confiscated will be shared between the Government, the Courts Service, the Crown Prosecution Service and the police.
Speaking after the case, Russell Day, from the National Crime Agency’s Economic Crime Command, said: “Our investigations do not end when a criminal is put in jail.
“Money is at the heart of all organised crime and is the motivation for most criminals, so we are determined to take their profits off them.
“The clock is ticking for these individuals to hand over the money they made from this enterprise. The price of not paying up in the next six months will be further time in prison.”
