Gangster who defrauded taxman to build £2.3m ‘Buckingham Palace-sized’ castle in Pakistan pays back just £1,700
A GANGSTER who defrauded the taxman to build a £2.3million castle in Pakistan “the size of Buckingham Palace” has paid back just £1,700.
Mohammed Suleman Khan originally got four years’ jail in 2014 for a £450,000 tax fraud.
The scam was exposed after cops raided his Birmingham home and found plans for a palace, with the shell and roof already built for £893,000.
Khan, known as The General and quizzed over a gym gun killing, told cops he was a £40,000-a-year debt collector.
But a probe found he was making at least £300,000 from crime.
In 2016 Khan’s term was upped by ten years when he failed to pay a £2.2m confiscation order.
He was released in 2021.
As of May, he owes £3.7m to HM Courts & Tribunals Service, including £1.5m interest.
His whereabouts are unknown.
