Five UK residents were jailed on Friday over a conspiracy to launder money using iTunes gift vouchers.
The gang used stolen credit card details to buy vouchers which they sold at a discount via eBay and other auction sites.
Suhail Tufail, 35, of Rochdale, Lancashire, masterminded the scheme which was estimated to have involved £750,000 worth of fraudulently purchased vouchers and an estimated 7,000 compromised credit and debit cards. The unemployed crook was jailed for five years on Friday at Manchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud and to money laundering offences.
Mohammed Arfan Rasool, 25, was also jailed for five years, while Raja Zahid Iqbal, 28, was sent down for two years and five months. Kibriya Ahmad, 25, was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to similar fraud and money laundering offences over the same scam.
