Money launderer claimed he won the lottery 123 times

A money launderer who claimed to have won the lottery 123 times has been ordered to pay the National Crime Agency (NCA) nearly half a million pounds.

Kashaf Ali Khan, from Solihull, bought a house with money he claimed he had won in the Pakistan lottery.

The 45-year-old later admitted that he had used criminal money to buy the property.

He had to sell the house to pay off a confiscation order of £472,740.

The NCA calculated that it would be as likely to have 123 winning tickets in the draw as it would be to win the UK lottery 40 weeks in a row.
