Back to EpisodesCouple Ordered to Pay £337K for Unexplained Property Empire
Description
A couple from Leicestershire, Simon Cudbill and Joanne, were ordered to pay £337,500 after authorities discovered their use of unexplained funds to build a property empire. Simon, who had a history of money laundering, started snapping up and renovating homes after his release in 2010. The couple ran this scheme from 2009 to 2023, generating profits but never declaring income or paying tax. They hid true ownership by putting properties in family members names and funneled cash through multiple accounts. The Crown Prosecution Service linked the startup money to unlawful sources, leading to a civil recovery operation. After negotiations, the couple paid the full amount, ending their ability to profit from Simons criminal past. Checkout Solipillow.com
