A Bradford man convicted of fraud has been ordered to repay tens of thousands of pounds following a confiscation hearing.

The order against Mohammed Navid Ramzan, 28, was made at Bradford Crown Court. He was given a suspended sentence of 24 months after he was convicted of conspiracy to defraud Lloyds Bank, with whom he was employed at the time of the offence in 2013.

An investigation by the Bradford District Proceeds of Crime team found he had assets totalling £33,911.77.

He now has three months to repay the full amount or he will be jailed for 12 months.

Detective Sergeant Karen Milner, of the Bradford District Proceeds of Crime Team, said: “This should serve as a warning to those who think they can benefit financially from a criminal lifestyle.

“Ramzan probably thought he had finished with the courts after his sentencing earlier this year, but the Proceeds of Crime Act legislation allows us to investigate the financial matters of criminals and establish what assets they have so Judges making these orders can take into account to what extent the individual has benefited.”
