Edinburgh businessman on FBI's Most Wanted told to pay victims £3m in compensation

An Edinburgh businessman who was on the FBI's Most Wanted list for carrying out a luxury car fraud has been ordered to pay his victims almost £3million in compensation.

Afzal Khan fled the US and spent more than five years on the run after being accused of conning a string of customers and financial firms at a motor dealership he ran in New Jersey.

The 41-year-old, originally from the capital, handed himself into authorities in the United Arab Emirates in February 2020 and was flown back to the States. He admitted a massive fraud involving supercars - including Lamborghinis, Porsches and Rolls Royces - and was sentenced to two years in prison last September.
