Ex-Bank Manager Turned Gangster’s Moll | The Sniper Line Empire | UK True Crime Documentary 💰🔫
She was a respected Royal Bank of Scotland portfolio manager — sharp suit, corporate title, and a promising future. But behind the polished LinkedIn profile was a secret double life that would shock Greater Manchester Police.
This is the story of Szenm Asghar, the ex-banker who traded spreadsheets for street deals, and helped run a £24,000-a-month heroin and cocaine empire known as the Sniper Line.
Together with her husband, Rashid Hussain, she built a high-end criminal brand that preyed on Rochdale’s most vulnerable — while living in luxury apartments, buying designer clothes, Rolex watches, and even £3,000 pedigree cats.
💼 From Bank Manager to Drug Queenpin
Szenm Asghar once managed multi-million-pound portfolios for NatWest and RBS, described herself as “highly conscientious and enthusiastic,” and held a degree in business finance.
But when she met Hussain, her life took a darker turn. Within months, she left her corporate career and joined her husband’s ‘Sniper’ drug network, running marketing-style text blasts to addicts across Rochdale:
“Sniper Line Active — Best Gear in Town.”
Their apartment — part of a £3.1 million development — became both a command centre and a vault, filled with cash bundles, drug ledgers, and luxury fashion labels.
💰 The Empire Uncovered
When police raided the property in December 2021, they found:
Over £20,000 in cash hidden under beds
Designer clothes worth £18,000
Multiple Rolex watches
10 phones used for drug distribution
And detailed accounting notes showing £34,000 earned in just six weeks
Even after Hussain’s arrest, Asghar refused to stop. She was out on bail for one operation — and still running another.
A second raid in March 2022 revealed heroin, crack cocaine, cutting agents, and cash wrapped in scarves, with notes showing up to £12,705 in weekly revenue.
⚖️ The Fall of the Sniper Line
In court, prosecutors described Asghar as “immersed in Hussain’s world” — a banker-turned-dealer who couldn’t give up the luxury she’d grown used to.
She pleaded guilty to:
Participating in an organised crime group
Possessing criminal property
Possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply
Judge Nicholas Dean KC told her:
“You were influenced by your husband, but you knew the type of man he was.”
Asghar received 3 years and 4 months, while Hussain was sentenced to 7 and a half years.
