A fraudster who swindled companies out tens of thousands of pounds in a 'sophisticated' e-mail scam and then evaded justice for nearly four and a half years has walked free from court.
Dad-of-five Mohammed Rahman, 41, stole almost £85,000 in a "classic diversion fraud" which saw half a dozen companies targeted with emails advising them to divert funds they owed to other firms into his bank account.
Rahman then failed to appear in court to face the charges in 2017 and avoided arrest until late last year.
