SCOTS COPS END £97M TAX FRAUD

THE mastermind of a fake designer clothing empire has been convicted of one of the UK's largest ever carousel tax frauds.

Arif Patel's illicit business was brought to an end when Scottish police officers stopped his criminal gang on the A74 near Ecclefachan, Dumfries and Galloway, in August 2020.

His crew also imported solid gold and counterfeit clothes worth at least £50million if genuine.
