A criminal cash courier, who played a leading role in a plot to smuggle more than £100 million out of the UK by exploiting extra luggage allowance on business class flights, has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Beatrice Auty was sentenced to 42 months in jail
Beatrice Auty, 27, from London, was arrested following National Crime Agency (NCA) raids in May 2021, after she travelled from Heathrow to Dubai twice in July and August of that year, checking in seven suitcases containing £3.4 million.
Auty was involved in the logistical arrangements for another 16 trips, helping to pack cash into suitcases, accompanying travellers to Heathrow and collecting empty suitcases when they returned so they could be used again.
