CONVICTED (2022) | Artur Kramer, born c. 1974, and his wife Joanna Kramer, born c. 1977, of Flat 50, 60 Victoria Road, Woolston, Southampton SO19 9TZ – illegally imported 43 dogs from Poland.
Polish nationals Artur and Joanna Kramer pleaded guilty to running an unlicensed business, illegally importing 43 dogs and illegally transporting dogs. They also admitted two money laundering offences involving a total of £16,050.
Ethu Crorie, prosecuting, said Joanna Kramer was visited by officers from Southampton City Council in September 2020 and given a written warning.
However the Kramers carried on with their illegal activities. They were travelling to and from Poland “on average around every six weeks, bringing back ten falsely described puppy litters”.
They then sold the animals using websites including Pets4Homes and Gumtree, with each being listed for more than £1,000, the authority said.
Recorder Charles Morrison said Joanna Kramer played a leading role in what he described as a group activity that had continued for some time.
He told the couple: “This was a business you were involved in to make money, without bothering to go through the usual steps to make it a lawful business.”
Sentencing | Joanna Kramer was handed a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, for a money laundering offence involving £11,250. Her husband received a nine-month sentence, also suspended for two years, for a similar offence involving £4,800. There were no separate penalties for the other offences.
Great Britain needs to step up to the mark and permanently ban and immediately deport any foreign nationals who are caught committing illegal offences in Great Britain. Australia does not put up with any kind of foreign national criminality as they are far more intelligent and stricter with their policies in regard to this kind of illegal activity . Any wonder that they laugh their heads off at the British legal system and the people who are appointed to run this country ?.
I agree entirely with the these comments.
That’s good old Tony Blair opening the Flood Gates to UK.
I would also like to Comment; the Eastern Europeans are bringing in, (All Puppy Breeds In To The UK. From All Over Europe), Every Day By The Van Full.
Like I said, we have our Government to Thank No One Else.
