Real estate agency in England was used for drug cultivation, director and an

A real estate agent in England has been sentenced to 8 years and 4 months in prison after using his business to provide a criminal network with properties that were converted into cannabis cultivation facilities.

Among the people involved in this network were also Albanian citizens.

It concerns the director of the real estate agency 'Condor Estates', Sarfraz Farooq, 46, who used his activity to secure properties and create forged rental contracts.

The British police investigation, conducted as part of Operation Costello, uncovered a network that had set up cannabis cultivation facilities on several properties in Luton and Milton Keynes.

In 2024, authorities inspected 20 properties.

In 19 of them, premises adapted for the cultivation of cannabis were found, while in another, hydroponic equipment used for this activity was discovered. In total, about 2 thousand cannabis plants were seized.

According to British authorities, the value of the seized cannabis was estimated at up to 800,000 pounds, while the full production of these facilities could generate more than 2 million pounds in a 12-month period.

At the center of the scheme was the real estate agency, through which the apartments were provided.

Farooq used forged contracts and documents, while owners were presented with agreements and rental payments that did not reflect the real use of the properties.

Among the convicted persons is Albanian Uran Gogu, 42 years old, who had a role in adapting the premises and installing hydroponic equipment.

He was sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison. According to the investigation, Gogu was also involved in the manipulation of electricity meters.

There were also problems with electricity in some of the properties, while illegal interference with meters was linked to fires in three apartments.

Other people involved in the network received shorter sentences or suspended sentences, while one of them was involved in money laundering through the cash purchase of a property that was then used to cultivate cannabis.
