Money launder charges
Date published: 07 March 2011
A MAN has been charged with money laundering after investigation into an Oldham drug smuggling gang.
Ian Nigel Clarke (49), of Haslingden, is due to appear before Oldham magistrates on April 20.
He is charged with three counts of money laundering and one count of supplying articles for use in fraud.
Ten people were jailed for a combined 55 years in October and November after more than £2.5 million worth of class A drugs were seized in raids around Oldham.
The arrests were part of Operation Walrus, launched by police in June after a landlord found drugs at a house in Abbeyhills.
