Description
An Indian-origin Met police officer, who was fired from the force last month, said she did not know her husband was a drug dealer. Agent Rasvinder Agalliu, a former model who enjoyed a lavish lifestyle with her drug dealer husband Julian Agalliu, thought the money came from working as a chef for professional footballers, the Evening Standard reported.
The couple lived in a property that cost them £5,000 a month, spent on a £70,000 Audi, designer clothes and houses in the upmarket Hadley Wood enclave in Barnet, north London. During her misconduct hearing, Rasvinder, a constable for 15 years, told the disciplinary tribunal that her husband, who earned between £1,000 and £4,000 a week, did not pay tax because he earned cash.
Not convinced, the court rejected Rasvinder's claims, saying that his "defense lacked credibility". "In our opinion, Agalliu was not concealing her drug use within the home. There were drugs and the means to supply them clearly evident in her home and we are pleased that she knew they were there," as it was "more likely than not." . had a good idea" about Julian's earnings given the couple's "lavish lifestyle", the court concluded. Her claims that drugs were planted in her home were also rejected by the court, which concluded that she was guilty of gross misconduct.
During raids on the couple's north London home twice in 2020, police found messages referring to 100kg parcels, packets of cocaine, evidence of drug trades and a conversation about a possible arms deal, reported the Evening Standard. Police officers also found drugs in a Louis Vuitton box under the couple's bed, as well as £27,000 in cash at their home, as well as cannabis cultivation on the property. Rasvinder, a mother of three, was fired from her, but she did not face any criminal charges after the raid on her home.
