WhatsApp used to launder cash for crime and extremism across the UK

WhatsApp groups were used to arrange cash transfers within the UK and internationally, leaving no paper trail, in order to fund criminal activity and extremism. The scheme allowed money laundering to operate entirely outside the formal banking system, making the financial flows extremely difficult to detect. An investigation has exposed the scale of these networks.
