A sacked HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officer who abused her position to help her husband launder £3.3 million of criminal cash has been sentenced.

Kuldip Badesha, of Chatham, Kent, used HMRC systems to produce letters that included fake National Insurance numbers and signatures.

The 46-year-old handed those details to her husband Ranbir Singh, who used them to open two of the 85 bank accounts, which he then used to launder money between 2015 and 2018.
