The pair are among five people accused of moving millions of pounds in cash on plane trips to Dubai.
A North Yorkshire couple accused of smuggling suitcases stuffed with £2.8m in cash from London to Dubai are the victims of a "massive deception", a court has heard.
The court heard model Ms Larvin, 44, and boyfriend Mr Johnson, 55, took eight cases on an Emirates flight on 9 September 2020, with Ms Larvin also accompanying Ms Harrison on the same journey two weeks earlier.During his prosecution opening earlier in the trial, Julian Christopher KC told the jury that the 16 journeys the five defendants were alleged to have been involved in were part of a wider 85 trips arranged over an 18-month period by Abdulla Alfalasi, with about £100m moved in total.
"Neither Ms Larvin nor Mr Johnson had heard of Alfalasi as a criminal mastermind - they just see his name as a director of a company called Omnivest, an apparently legitimate gold company cleanly approved by Dubai customs," he told the jury.The court heard the defendants travelled in business class to Dubai to allow for extra baggage allowances
