Police hunt for tubby father and son who fled while standing trial over £80m drug cash-laundering ring
London pair dubbed 'the Hugitives' moved cash over three years via bogus bills to duped companies
A TUBBY dad and son who fled while on trial over an £80million drug cash-laundering ring were being hunted last night.
Cops issued photos of Bhadresh Shah, 49, and Abhishek Shah, 24 — dubbed The Hugitives — feared to be in India.
They moved cash over three years via bogus bills to duped companies and setting up fake firms.
Judge Andrew Goymer told Southwark crown court in London: “The amounts laundered are quite staggering.
“There’s no doubt it came predominantly from the sale of drugs.”
