AN “intelligent and devious” fraudster made nearly £600,000 from her criminality, Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday.
The Recorder of Bradford, Judge Roger Thomas QC, made a confiscation order in the sum of £582,177 against convicted money launderer Musarat Sultana (pictured), who is serving a four year jail sentence.
Sultana, 40, of Springcliffe, Manningham, Bradford, was locked up in December 2012 for processing more than £400,000 of criminal cash through her bank accounts.
After she was convicted, a restraining order was placed on her three bank accounts.
Financial investigators looked at “tainted gifts” she handed out to others and a house in Kensington Street, Girlington, Bradford.
Judge Thomas ruled that Sultana's available assets totalled £455,626.
She was given six months to hand them over.
