A serving Metropolitan Police officer seized at least £850,000 in “criminal cash” under the pretence of doing his job, a court has heard.
Kashif Mahmood, a Harlow resident, was “at the heart” of a “highly lucrative organised crime group”, Southwark Crown Court was told on Wednesday.
The court heard the 32-year-old dressed in his uniform and used marked and unmarked police vehicles to travel to locations where he knew “significant quantities of criminal cash” would be exchanged.
He attempted to seize the cash under the pretence of the “lawful exercise of his powers”, and was assisted twice by co-defendant Ioan Gherghel, who pretended to be a fellow officer.
