Crime fixer caught by BBC offering to erase £60k fines on migrant workers | BBC News

A man at the centre of an organised crime network has been secretly filmed telling BBC undercover reporters how he can help to erase fines of up to £60,000 for employing illegal workers.

The self-described “accountant” is among a group of Kurdish men, first exposed in a BBC investigation on Tuesday, who enable migrants to work illegally in mini-marts, by registering the businesses in their own name.

The man, who goes by the name of Shaxawan, told the two journalists that he and his associates could help migrants – including asylum seekers – to set up businesses illegally and “confuse” immigration enforcement.

Operating from a solicitor’s office in Huddersfield, he said he had “customers in every city”.
