Southall Father In Mortgage Fraud
A young Southall father persuaded his wife to take part in a series of mortgage frauds which netted them more than £700,000.
Isleworth Crown Court heard last week how Zamir Hussain, 28, and his now estranged wife, Mahrukh Syed, 31, obtained a succession of mortgages on two Romford properties by giving false details of Ms Syed's earnings and providing false documents.
Hussain, of Lady Margaret Road, and Ms Syed of Stanley Road, Ilford, admitted a total of six charges of either obtaining money transfers by deception or concealing, disguising or converting criminal property between April 2005 and their arrests in May this year.
In each of the mortgage applications to the Portman, Northern Rock and Alliance and Leicester building societies, Syed claimed to be working for Computertec, earning up to £65,000 a year, and provided P60s and other documents to back this up.
The pair obtained over £700,000 in mortgages and re-mortgages on Romford properties in Whalebone Lane South and Pemberton Gardens, said prosecutor Richard Speak.
While Hussain was sent to prison, the judge said Syed had sufficient mitigation for him to suspend her sentence but, in addition, she must do 240 hours' unpaid work.
They both face a confiscation hearing in January.

this case does not make sense to me...
SHE was the one who actually applied for morgages in her name and gave false information about HER... so why did the husband go prison and not her? any hard-core evidence they had would have been against her name not his!! how can u convict someone for "persuading" and not convict someone who actually carried out the crime? sounds sexist to me!!!! on top of dat she is 3 yrs older than him...he sounds like the victim to me!
MS SYED gave false info! MS SYED provide false documents! MS SYED obtained the mortgages in her name! ...but... MR HUSSAIN went to prison???? How did the sly woman manage that one???
