POLICE are still looking for a fraudster wanted for money laundering after he skipped a court date nearly six months ago.

Tomasz Skowron was due to stand trial for money laundering on January 26 and police appealed for help to find him when he did not turn up.

The trial was re-scheduled for May 6 at Chichester Crown Court but Skowron was still nowhere to be seen. The 27-year-old was tried in his absence, a jury convicted him of money laundering and he was sentenced to 20 months in jail.

He was one of two people caught money laundering £113,796.52 obtained by fraud from several overseas companies between February and March 2012.

The funds were from a bank account which police found and stopped using a court restraint order during the investigation.

This week police renewed their appeal for information to find the man last known address was in Meredith Road, Worthing. Officers believe he could be in the town still or in Bognor.

He is described as broad, white, 5ft 11ins tall with short straight brown hair and blue eyes. Agneiszka Skowron, 40, of Clarence Road, Bognor, pleaded guilty on May 6 to the same offence, and was handed a suspended 15 month jail sentence and made the subject of a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act requiring her to pay £74,296.52 in 28 days or face 18 months in prison as well as having to pay back the money.

The pair are not related.

Anyone who sees Skowron or knows where he may be, should call police on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting 146 of 4/4/2012 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
