警方于2026年2月5日在伯明翰附近Birmingham附近的M6车厢内一个冰箱里发现了将近100 000英镑的苏格兰钞票,之后,一名46岁的面包车司机Qamran Iqbal被判处15个月监禁。
A 46-year-old van driver, Qamran Iqbal, was sentenced to 15 months in jail after police found nearly £100,000 in Scottish banknotes hidden in a fridge inside his van on the M6 near Birmingham on February 5, 2026.
Iqbal是一名持执照的医疗信使, 承认这笔钱来自非法来源, 却声称他是根据指示行事, 与朋友访问苏格兰后回来的最初故事相矛盾。
Officers stopped the vehicle after noticing suspicious behavior, and Iqbal, a medical courier on licence, admitted knowing the money was from an illegal source but claimed he was acting under instructions, contradicting his initial story of returning from a friend’s visit in Scotland.
检察官将这些现金与毒品活动挂钩。
Prosecutors linked the cash to drug activity.
Iqbal已经被押回监狱服刑12年半,将同时服新的刑期,即不再超过他现在的刑期。
Iqbal, already recalled to prison for a prior 12-and-a-half-year sentence, will serve the new term concurrently, meaning no additional time beyond his existing recall.
