THE daughter of a man labelled Blackburn's 'Mr Big' for his drug dealing has been ordered to pay back £45,000 of her ill-gotten gains.

Preston Crown Court heard how Anisa Khansia, 23, of Lowood Place, Blackburn, owned a house in Tintern Crescent, Blackburn, which had been bought with laundered drugs money.

Her father, Ayub Khansia, 58, is currently serving seven-and-a-half years in prison for possession of heroin with intent to supply.

Anisa and four other family members including her brother and grandfather have since pleaded guilty to money laundering and been jailed for a total of eight and a half years. Police investigations found the family had bought 18 properties worth around £1million in total.

During yesterday's confiscation hearing, Judge Baker ordered Miss Khansia to pay back £45,502.92 before December 4 next year.

Prosecutors told the court bank records for Khansia showed large transactions that could not be properly accounted for.

Judge Baker also found the money she had made from her father's drug dealing was now tied up in the home in Tintern Street, worth more than £38,000. Anisa had also made money from the home by renting it out to council tenants.

It was also decided a Volkswagen Golf car that prosecutors tried to prove had been bought using drug money, was not an asset, as it could not be proven she had ever owned the vehicle.

So far the family have been ordered to pay back more than half a million pounds.

The confiscation hearing for Ayub Khansia was due to take place in Preston today.
