Mazen Al Shaar, a 48-year-old from Hayes, Middlesex, faces money laundering charges after Border Force officers seized 1 million in cash hidden in suitcases at Heathrow Airport. He was intercepted while attempting to board a flight to Beirut. Andy Noyes of the NCA emphasized the importance of the seizure, linking it to broader organized crime activities, while a Home Office spokesperson praised the officers' training and ongoing efforts to safeguard the UK’s borders against illegal cash movement.
This detection of 1m was because of brilliant work by Border Force officers which has now sparked our investigation.
Our officers are trained to spot suspicious behaviour and identify attempts to move illicit cash and other prohibited items across our borders.
