Five Rochdale men have been jailed for using iTunes music gift vouchers to launder money in an internet scam.
The men used stolen credit card numbers to buy £750,000 worth of vouchers to sell at cheaper prices through eBay.
They were caught when police stopped one of the men during a search at Hull port in 2007 and seized his laptop.
It led them to orchestrator Suhail Tufail, 26, who admitted fraud charges and was jailed for five years at Manchester Crown Court.
In May 2007, Humberside Ports police stopped three men - including Mohammed Arfan Rasool and Imran Aslam - as part of a routine search when they arrived from Amsterdam.
A "suspicious" laptop belonging to Rasool was seized and examined by Greater Manchester Police's economic crime unit.
