Two men have been charged in connection with a money laundering investigation.

Bazyli Rymarz, 20, of Ley Farm Close, Garston, was detained on suspicion of possessing criminal money by Kent Police at the Port of Dover on January 23.

Following further enquiries, which were supported by the eastern region special operations unit, he was charged with three counts of concealing criminal property, and one count of acquiring criminal property, between March 2019 and January 2020. He was also charged with driving without a licence and driving without insurance.

A search was also carried out at the property in Garston and Krystian Rymarz, 26, of Ley Farm Close, was subsequently arrested.

He was later charged with concealing criminal property.

In total, more than £60,000 of criminal money is reported to have been seized as part of the investigation.

Both men appeared at Canterbury Magistrates’ Court on January 25.

At the hearing they were remanded in custody and will next appear at Canterbury Crown Court on February 24.
