£2m Money Laundering Gang Jailed Through Post Offices

Four members of a £2m money laundering gang have been jailed for their roles in running a network of 30 Post Offices across Bristol and Gloucestershire to deposit cash. The gang leader, Giuseppe Sangiovanni, was already sentenced to six years and eight months in April after admitting his role.

The remaining members, Patrick White and Thomas Dainty, were sentenced on Friday for their involvement in the money laundering operation. They also pleaded guilty to drug dealing crimes unrelated to the money laundering case.

Police found evidence of Sangiovanni's luxury lifestyle, including a Porsche and six Rolex watches at his Cheltenham home. He controlled all bank accounts and cryptocurrency used by the gang.
