British boxer Lee Purdy has reportedly been charged with money laundering for his alleged involvement in committing fraud against elderly and vulnerable people.
The 26-year-old is said to be one of six people charged following a seven-month investigation alongside Essex County Council trading standards and adult social care.
It is understood that Purdy is connected to the crime, which accumulated more than £1m after duping around 40 people aged between 65 and 99, according to the Daily Mail.
Seven other people are said to have been charges with conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation.
