The legal system finally caught up with Michael Voudouri, one of HMRC’s ‘Most Wanted’, last week, when he was sentenced for his role in laundering over £11.5 million.

In October 2012 Michael Voudouri, originally of Bridge of Allan in Scotland, pleaded guilty to laundering a total of £11.6m through foreign and domestic banks, company accounts and individuals between 2001 and 2004.

He then failed to appear for sentencing and a warrant was granted for his arrest.

Following investigations it was ascertained that Voudouri had fled to northern Cyprus, and following exhaustive efforts to enforce the warrant by the Crown, HMRC, Police Scotland and the National Crime Agency, Voudouri finally consented to be extradited from the Republic of Cyprus in May 2014.

Voudouri was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for the money laundering offences and 18 months for failing to appear for sentence, both sentences to run consecutively.
