“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.” Octavia Butler

While studying filmmaking at the University of Pittsburgh, Chris Ivey had a near-encounter that has stuck with him for more than a few years.
âI was walking down Melwood Avenue to go to school,â he recalled, âand a cop car pulls up beside me and heâs just pacing me while Iâm walking. And I asked the cop, âAre you OK? Do you need something?â And he just kept looking at me as he rode beside me.â
Eventually, he drove away without ever having uttered a word to Ivey, who reported that similar incidents persist to this day.
The websites were just a guise to launder money obtained illegally
Police have recovered more than £5 million from fraudulent companies who used adult entertainment websites as part of an international money laundering operation.
At Manchester Magistrates Court on 30 November 2020 a judge agreed to the forfeiture of £5.8 million of criminally obtained funds following an investigation by GMP s Economic Crime Unit - a specialized unit within GMP s Serious Organised Crime Group.
The company directors had 30 days to appeal the verdict but this time has now passed and they are liable to forfeit the full amount.
It marks the biggest Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) forfeiture in the history of Greater Manchester Police.
