A pair were arrested at Manchester Airport as part of a huge investigation into a £100m money smuggling ring that saw millions stashed in suitcases and flown out to the United Arab Emirates.
Former glamour model Jo Emma Larvin and Jonathan Johnson were taken into custody at Manchester Airport by police last March.
