From NewIndPress:
LONDON: A large amount of cash intended for ‘hawala’ transactions in the Indian subcontinent was the main target of a burglary at a British travel agency in which one woman police officer was shot dead.
The killing of the officer, Sharon Beshenivsky, 38, last Friday has dominated media coverage here, including the coverage of a public outpouring of grief in Bradford and elsewhere in Britain.
Money-laundering expert Jeffrey Robinson told reporters: “Somebody obviously knew there was money there on Friday but the fact that a gun was involved says to me that this is not just ordinary guys looking for money to buy drugs.”
