More than £5 million was uncovered in one of Britain's largest cash seizures after a crook was spotted struggling to lug around bags stuffed with money.

Met officers swooped on Ruslan Shamsutdinov and caught him red handed after watching an address at Porteus Apartments, Fulham, in June last year.

Large scale launderer Sergejs Auzins was depositing huge amounts of cash at the apartment and detectives had it under surveillance on Friday, June 5, when Shamsutdinov was spotted heaving the bags towards a parked car.

After stopping the 36-year-old a search of the bags and apartment uncovered £5,082,026.17. A further 39,000 Euros and £8,038.81 was found at Shamsutdinov's home in Hackney, east London.

Weeks later on Sunday, July 14, Serwan Ahmadi was spotted handing a bag to another man who was arrested at the scene by officers. The case against this man was dropped.

Later that day, 35-year-old Ahmadi left his home in Pycroft Way, Edmonton, north London, with another bag.

He was stopped and arrested by officers in nearby Victoria Road. The bag contained £59,980 and a search of his address recovered £198,665

The following day, Sergejs Auzins, 46, was arrested at his home in Windward Road, Rochester, Kent, and £14,435.63 was seized.

The seizures follows a long-term operation aimed at tackling firearms offences and drug dealing in the capital.

At Harrow Crown Court yesterday the men were jailed after pleading guilty last year to conspiracy to money laundering.

Shamsutdinov was jailed for three years and nine months, Auzins for three years and four months and Ahmad for one year and eight months, suspended for two years., plus 150 hours of unpaid work.

Detective Superintendent Jason Prins, from the Specialist Crime Command, said: “As part of a long-running operation against gun crime and large scale Class A drugs supply across London, over five million pounds in criminal cash was seized from an address in Fulham. This is the largest ever single cash seizure by the Met and I believe one of the largest ever nationally.

“Organised crime is motivated by money and is one of the biggest causes of violence on our streets. Tackling this violence is our main priority. This seizure, and the conviction of these men for laundering that money, will have a major impact on the ability of a number of crime groups to carry on with their activities.”
