A father and son have been jailed for their part in a fraud worth more than £23 million.

Daniel Andrew Barrs and Daniel Barrs from Lingfield and Horley were both convicted of facilitating money laundering.

65 year-old Barrs was given three seven-year sentences to run concurrently.  His 29 year-old son was handed three sentences of three years, also to run concurrently.

Two other men, Narinder Chada and Gurmail Dosanjh, were found guilty of conspiracy to cheat the public purse of £11.7 million.  They were sentenced to seven and eight years respectively.

The fraud was linked to the trade of carbon credits which allowed companies to produce more carbon dioxide than they would otherwise be permitted to.
