A Leeds man has been forced to hand back more than £330,000 worth of criminal proceeds after being found guilty of money laundering.
Kane Dacosta, 29, of Holmsley Walk, has been jailed for four years and nine months after admitting to the offences.
He was released from prison on license in July 2020 after serving time for drugs offences, as well as a separate money laundering conviction.
He was arrested again last September on suspicion of further money laundering and possession of a mobile phone in prison.
He admitted the offences and was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court.
He's had a total of £335,000 worth of assets seized, including £200,000 worth of jewellery, around £95,000 worth of vehicles and more than £34,000 in clothing.
