An extract from the article reads;

They learned that the accomplice was 47-year-old Eyad Iktilat, who operated Royal Oak Taxis, which masqueraded as a taxi repair and loan company but was in fact a front for a vast criminal empire.

Are there that many minicab firms doing £100,000,000 of dodgy deals then? :?

And WTF has a taxi repair / rental garage got to do with licensed London Taxi drivers?

Answer: SFA.

Where does it mention licensed drivers? :?

I'm sure if you ran criminal record checks on everyone that works at Mann and Overton, or KPM Mercedes, you would have a few interesting characters, but none are London cab drivers.

This is a futile and pointless argument the people convicted were a garage owner and associates including a firefighter lauded for his bravery on 7/7

To suggest that this is in anyway a reflection on the integrity of the hackney or PH trade is ridiculous after all this garage was not servicing black cabs only according to one report I heard they did all sorts of work including black cabs and the money laundering was a sideline using the premises as an exchange point

Nope, you're confusing the phrase 'cab firm' with what you would expect to find out in county mounty land.

They repaired and hired taxis out to drivers, they were'nt a Radio taxi firm.

Radio taxi firms in London consist of three big circuits with thousands of taxis on them.
