    Four men have been sentenced following a large-scale fraud operation that spanned over four years and targeted more than 50 victims.

    They were sentenced at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court for fraud and money laundering offences.

    Mohammed Naveed Chaudhry, 40, and his conspirators defrauded victims from 2011 to 2015 across the North of England.

    Chaudhry often claimed to be a solicitor working for the Crown Prosecution Service, using the alias Adam Baksh.

    He would also portray himself as someone in a position to sell repossessed residential properties at a reduced rate to numerous victims.

    They were jailed for a combined total of over 11 years.
