Poker becomes the universal tool for laundering of big amounts of money, whether you play or not. Recently accused drug dealer in Northern Ireland said that his £63,000 came through poker, not from drugs. He is suspected in supplying drugs and implicating to the drug dealer group.
The defense lawyer said his client denies any belonging to the drugs worth £300,000, which were earlier found in the taxi. The police have the opposite opinion. He was refused bail and was charged with relationship with the other two men who face related charges. The fact that the guy obtained big sum of money being unemployed is unusual, so the investigation is ongoing.
