'While presenting himself as a genuine and reputable businessman Arif Patel in fact used stolen taxpayers’ cash to line his own pockets and fund a lavish lifestyle'
The mastermind of a fake designer clothing scam has been convicted of one of the UK’s largest ever carousel tax frauds.
Arif Patel’s Preston-based company, Faisaltex Ltd, was the heart of his criminal empire. From here, he ran the counterfeit clothing import operation and false export business. Arif Patel frequently travelled to Dubai to meet Mohamed Jaffar Ali and also made trips to China and Turkey to set up deals with manufacturers of counterfeit clothing. The profits were laundered by Mohamed Jaffar Ali through freezone companies and bank accounts held in the UAE.
He was tried in his absence at Chester Crown Court where he was found guilty of all charges yesterday. He will be sentenced next month. Mohamed Jaffar Ali was also found guilty of conspiracy to cheat the public revenue and money laundering.
