Mum of playboy international drugs boss Aram Sheibani jailed after Manchester Airport arrest

The mother of a playboy drugs boss was today jailed for laundering the proceeds of his crimes. Fatemah Sheibani, 75, was arrested by Greater Manchester Police as she stepped off a plane from Turkey at Manchester Airport, the force has revealed.

Her son, Aram Sheibani, now 41, was jailed for 37 years in June last year. Sheibani, who a court heard enjoyed an extraordinary lavish lifestyle funded by crime, was involved in a high-level cocaine conspiracy for almost a decade before he was brought to justice.

He amassed a £5m property empire, stayed in luxury accommodation, travelled around the world and drove top of the range cars such as a Bentley and a Porsche.
