The family of a corrupt Wembley solicitor has been ordered to repay more than £85,000 after he was caught trafficking drugs and guns.

Manohal Sagar and Sarla Sagar were ordered to repay a total of £85,895 following a contested hearing at Horseferry Road Magistrates, Court on Wednesday.

Mr and Mrs Sagar are the parents of Naveen Sagar, a corrupt Wembley solicitor, who was sentenced to 14 and a half years imprisonment, in December last year, for his role in an organised crime network, trafficking class A drugs and firearms.

£85,895 cash was seized from the family home in Wembley during the course of the investigation into Naveen Sagar.

The used bank notes were found hidden in a vanity case and carrier bags under Mr and Mrs Sagar's bed. A further £500,000 in unexplained and undeclared income was also identified in bank accounts held by Mr and Mrs Sagar. This money is now under investigation by the Inland Revenue.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Beyer, of the Metropolitan Police's central task force west, said: "This result proves that crime does not pay, not only for those directly involved but for their associates as well.

"These family members were entirely corrupt. Not only could they not account for the funds that we found hidden in the house and their bank accounts, but they lied from the outset as to why they had them and avoided attending the hearing to give evidence."
