A Scots-born 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 Edinburgh, 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.
He has now been told he must repay £2.8million to around 50 victims following a restitution hearing at the US District Court of New Jersey. The flamboyant businessman, known to his clients as 'Bobby', opened the Emporio Motor Group in New Jersey in 2013 and maintained a high profile.
