Corbyn supported fraudster's bail application

[Osem]

Four men have been convicted over a phone scam carried out across the south of England that defrauded 18 pensioners out of a total of £600,000.

Mohamed Dahir, 23, Sakaria Aden, 22, and Yasser Abukar, 24, were found guilty of conspiring to commit fraud.

Mohammed Sharif Abokar, 28, was convicted at the Old Bailey of converting criminal property. All four are from north London.

The scam involved gang members posing on the phone as police officers.

A fifth man, Ibrahim Farah, 23, also from north London, was acquitted of conspiring to commit fraud.

The Metropolitan Police said the fraud was uncovered after a separate terrorist investigation found payments in a bank account used by someone who later travelled to Syria...

... Dahir's defence barrister Patrick Harte told the court his client had a letter from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn "setting out his roots in the area" of Islington. The letter had been sent as part of Dahir's earlier bail application, Mr Harte told the press.

A convicted fraudster was behind bars tonight despite a letter from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to an Old Bailey judge supporting his bail application.

Mohammed Dahir was one of four men convicted of swindling a string of frail pensioners out of more than £600,000 of their life savings...

Dahir was granted bail on May 21 this year when he was awaiting trial and his application was supported by Corbyn’s letter.

The Labour leader’s letter was raised a second time in the failed attempt to get bail a second time today.

It's a pity this guy's 'roots' didn't include decency and honesty.

If they were supporting terrorism in any way why are they even being allowed to claim bail?

They weren't up for that, 'simply' fraud.
Says a lot about Corbyn. I detest the man.

Oh look another post about that evil man .How novel.

Oh look another post by someone who's evidently not interested in contributing to the thread, how novel.

Why did Corbyn write the letter? We're this fraudsters personal and close friends of his?

Yes, the Syria thing was a result of some other investigation. It'll be interesting to see where that goes.

The question is how often would an MP write in support of a bail application in this way?

Yes, and he is either evil or possibly just a simpleton. Either way, because of the position he is in, he needs exposing at every opportunity.

I suspect it was an opportunity to show his support for the poor, oppressed, vulnerable, minorities...

I wonder if he do the same thing now he's the leader of the opposition.

Trouble is there's something new every day and more often than not there bs, the public aren't buying it either I don't think and those newspaper moguls he threatened to break up can't be happy that despite an almost daily onslaught they still haven't buried him. Of course it also means when something which might be of interest like this for instance comes to light it just gets dismissed as more propoganda

Dismissed "as more propoganda" by deluded (fellow travellers/useful idiots) socialist twits like him. The rest of us see him for what he is

You'd love that to be true but the only genuine factual example we have so far is the Oldham election, where labour's share of the vote actually went up

Interesting headlines those press barons made up...
