DETECTIVES were granted permission yesterday to hold on to cash seized from former Darlington Football Club chairman George Reynolds.
The 68-year-old has been charged with money laundering offences after £500,000 was recovered from his car earlier this year. Police also seized £6,700 and just over 7,000 euros from Mr Reynolds on Wednesday.
Officers from the Regional Assets Recovery Team went to court yesterday to apply to hold the money.
They were given permission by magistrates in Durham to hold the cash under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
