| Jail for immigrant who built a mansion from benefit fraud An immigrant taxi driver built a seven bedroom mansion in Pakistan after making millions of pounds in benefit fraud, credit card scams and fake passports. Nawaz Sharif - unemployed for the past 11 years - amassed a £2 million fortune through property, selling luxury cars and various criminal activities. The fraudster, forger and "Mr Fixit" - who helped fellow immigrants evade traffic fines - was jailed after his life of crime was brought to an end. The 37-year-old father of three, who came to Britain in the late eighties, was based in Slough, Berkshire. When police, immigration officials and benefits investigators arrested him in December 2005 they found an Aladdin's cave of crime-related items. These included more than 35 forged credit cards and 30 passports, numerous envelopes stuffed with hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash and two copies of Home Office stamps used to allow immigrants permission to stay in Britain. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770 |
