A man who leased a £36,000 Volvo car gave it to illegal money lenders as collateral on a loan he took out, a court has heard. The Volvo is now missing but is believed to have been shipped to Poland by the loan sharks or their associates.
To try to cover his tracks, Adrian Maciejewski initially told the garage he leased the vehicle from that he could not return it because his brother had it and his sibling was self-isolating with Covid. Swansea Crown Court heard the car scam wasn't the only way Maciejewski has turned to crime to make money – the dad-of-one has previously harassed a celebrity and demanded money from them, threatening to take his own life if he wasn't paid.
