Right hand man to 'Godfather of Oldham' fled 4,000 miles to escape justice after terrifying eBay attacks
The 'right hand man' of a 'manipulative' criminal known as the 'Godfather of Oldham' has been jailed for his part in terrifying armed robberies committed against unsuspecting car buyers. Innocent members of the public looking for a good deal were attacked after responding to fake adverts placed on eBay by an Oldham based crime gang.
In one particularly terrifying incident, a mother was with her two-year-old child when armed men tried get in their taxi and rob them of £15,000 after she'd travelled from Scotland to buy a car. They were able to escape as the taxi sped off. Imran Ali, 43, described by prosecutors as Mohammed Fareed's 'right hand man', fled to Pakistan before their trial. He was arrested at Manchester Airport on his return to the UK in April. Now he been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Mr Campbell said Ali was expected to work for him in return. He said Ali fled to Pakistan to 'get away' from Fareed because he felt 'scared' and 'threatened' by him, and came back knowing he was now in jail.
