A man has been charged with money laundering following the discovery of £100,000 in a van.

Police seized the money after searching a van at Dover Eastern Docks on Tuesday last week.

Afrim Gjana, 44, from Romford in Havering, outer London, was subsequently charged and appeared at Medway Magistrates Court and was released on bail.

He is to appear at Canterbury Crown Court on Wednesday, February 27.

Meanwhile, in a separate strand of the case, Maidstone magistrates ordered the cash be held by authorities for six months.
