Salford drug money launderer ordered to pay £113k


A man from Salford who helped launder money for a major drug dealing network has been ordered to pay back over £100,000 in ill-gotten gains.

In July, Curtis Rogerson, 35, of Millennium Point in Salford Quays, was jailed for 27 months for his part in the conspiracy.

Manchester Crown Court heard that the Broughton Business Centre on Broughton Lane was being used by gangsters to stash money made through drug deals.

Rogerson was found to be involved in counting and moving the black market cash around the country between November 2014 and February 2015.

He was also linked to a £200,000 cannabis smuggling deal between Manchester and the West Midlands.

As part of the investigation police discovered over £100,000 hidden in Rogerson’s home.

Under the Proceeds of Crime Act he has now been ordered to repay £113,085 after the court ruled it was money ‘connected to unlawful conduct’.
