Among their customers were Glasgow murderers Jordan Owens and Christopher Hughes, Liverpool drug trafficker Michael Moogan, and Manchester fugitive David Walley.
Members of a gang who supplied sake passports to Glasgow murderers and many others in the criminal underworld have been given longer jail sentences after appeal judges said they were previously "unduly lenient".
Zietek’s prison term was raised from eight years to 12 years and Beard’s from six years to 10 years and two months. Thompson’s three-year sentence was not increased. “The increase in their prison sentences adequately reflects the severity of their offending and the harm it did in the UK and beyond. They were paid for providing their expired passports, and their details were used to apply for new ones but with photographs of the criminals. The crime group also paid others to countersign passport applications.Beard, who pleaded guilty to fraud offences, also admitted supplying over 70 FOGs used by other criminals, including Jamie Acourt, Christy Kinahan, and firearms trafficker Richard Burdett.
