Forensic examination of numerous bank accounts opened by him in various names revealed a much larger picture of laundering funds. Extensive enquiries began to unveil an even more sophisticated web of fraud, which led officers to his brother-in-law Emmanuel Adanemhen, 50.
Adanemhen arrived in the UK as an asylum seeker in 1998 and soon began to weave a complex identity scam. He first assumed the identity of a dead Portuguese man and then changed his name by deed poll and on driving licenses to distance himself from the many accounts that were being opened to launder funds from fraud. .
He married his wife in the name of the deceased Portuguese man which enabled his wife to secure residency in the UK. The arrests formed part of a worldwide fraud investigation, whereby victims across the world had been conned.
Adanemhen later pleaded guilty.
