A member of a Huddersfield grooming gang who was also selling cannabis and money laundering has had more than £38,000 worth of assets confiscated by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Irfan Ahmed, 34, was jailed for eight years in 2018 as part of Operation Tendersea, which led to the imprisonment of 20 men convicted of more than 120 offences against 15 girls over a seven year period.

A man involved in stealing jewellery worth millions of pounds from London’s Hatton Garden has been sent to prison for a further six-and-a-half years after failing to pay his confiscation order.

Daniel Jones, 63, was ordered to pay a combined £6,396,273 along with other gang members on 30 January.

Jones appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court today where he was sent back to prison for a further six years and 287 days to serve his default sentence after failing to pay £6,599,021. This amount is made up of the joint confiscation order and his other assets. 

A drug dealer has had his confiscation order increased by £1.8million almost a decade after his original conviction following an application by the Crown Prosecution Service.
