Three walk free after scamming luxury car owners out of £720,000

Three men involved in running a fraudulent luxury car dealership which conned customers of £720,000, have walked free from court.

The fraudulent business Mansori Cars, operated out of Warrington's Birchwood Park and targeted dozens of customers by selling high-end vehicles without informing them or handing over the proceeds.

Many victims only found out their cars had been sold when the DVLA notified them of ownership changes.

The three defendants - Paul Roche, Basil Osman, and Mohammed Fiaz - each played a role in the fraudulent enterprise, led by Shahnawaz Fiaz, who remains at large.

During sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court on September 4, it was heard that 41 victims had been identified and were out of pocket to the tune of £720,000. However, the potential loss could have been up to £1.4 million.
