Lawyer Filmed Offering to Make £45,000 Illegal-Worker Fine 'Go Away'
Graphic: BriefTea
A Bradford solicitor was secretly filmed by BBC reporters explaining how a £45,000 fine for employing an illegal worker could be made to disappear. Mohammad Alias Yousaf suggested naming someone living abroad as the shop's owner so the penalty could not be collected. He denies ever giving such advice. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has now ordered a review, with £150m in illegal-working fines still unpaid.
