  • Summary

  • Betrayal, glamor and £100 million stuffed into high end suitcases. COMING SOON from Brazen, this is the true story of Dubai's unlikely money mules. In 2020, an invitation to a WhatsApp chat group called "Sunshine and Lollipops" marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for a group of friends. The offer was alluring: a glamorous side hustle as couriers, moving investment cash for Dubai’s royal family. It was a world of luxury, rolling through Heathrow with millions in cash inside high-end suitcases, chauffeured cars, business class flights, and five-star hotel stop-overs. That is, until the arrests start. Some couriers are put in cuffs at the airport, others have their homes raided at dawn by police. In fact, more than 20 people are put in cuffs, many facing more than a decade in prison on money laundering charges. Because there was no royal sheik behind the scenes of this scheme. Instead, there were shadowy organised crime groups and a tsunami of dirty money. When the scheme came undone, ordinary Brits found themselves entangled in the biggest UK cash laundering case in history. They had been recruited by people they knew and trusted. Betrayed by lovers, best friends, colleagues – all in pursuit of the high life and glossy photos for their instagram feeds. When it came crashing down, they were left asking, what was it all for? And if there was no mysterious sheik, who did the money really belong to? Sunshine & Lollipops: Welcome To Dubai's Underworld COMING SOON from Brazen.
