iTunes money laundering gang jailed
May.14, 2010
Suhail Tufail has been jailed for five years for orchestrating a major fraud involving the sale of iTunes vouchers on eBay.
The 26-year-old, of Ashfield Road, Rochdale, was the leader of a gang who used stolen credit cards to purchase more than £750,000 worth of iTunes vouchers.
They then attempted to launder the money by selling the vouchers on eBay and other internet auction sites at a reduced cost.
Police stumbled across the scam after two gang members had a laptop confiscated when they were stopped by port officials at Hull on their way back from the Netherlands in 2007.
Officers examined the computer and discovered evidence that thousands of bank cards had been used in online transactions.
