Spanish police said Tuesday they had arrested Britain’s most wanted woman over a £1-billion VAT scam, after nine years on the run.
Panitzke has been wanted since 2013 for money laundering offences as part of 16-strong criminal gang that bought mobile phones abroad without VAT then resold them in the UK.Originally from Fulford, near the northern English city of York, Panitzke disappeared in May 2013 before being convicted and sentenced in absentia to eight years behind bars.
Investigators with Britain’s HMRC tax authorities said she was responsible for laundering all the group’s income through multiple companies in Spain, the tiny principality of Andorra and Dubai. In 2015, police discovered she was living in Olivella, just south of Barcelona, with her husband bringing supplies at weekends.
Congratulations, this a well coordinated effort.
