Blue bag of cash from a Wrexham nail bar featured in £1.6m people smuggling case
Cash collected from an unnamed nail bar in the Wrexham area formed part of a £1.6 million money laundering operation run by a people smuggling gang whose five members have been jailed for a total of almost 40 years. The National Crime Agency said three members of the group travelled from Coventry to the nail bar in a white Vauxhall Astra shortly before their arrest on 1 October last year, and collected cash there. Vinh Van Nguyen, 31, Sy Trai Ho, 28, and Lia-Chien Trong, 34, then stopped at an Asda store in Wigan, where Trong and Ho attempted to transfer cash via Western Union.
