Two men accused as acting as 'spotters' during the gunpoint robbery of former world champion boxer Amir Khan have been cleared of conspiracy to rob. The 36-yeard-old, from Bolton, was robbed of his £70,000 diamond-encrusted watch when leaving an east London restaurant with his wife on April 18 last year.
Ismail Mohamed, 24, of Edmonton, and Nurul Amin, 25, of Harringay, both in north London, denied conspiracy to rob and were acquitted by a jury at east London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court on today (Friday). The jury deliberated for just two hours before returning their unanimous verdicts.
Mohamed and Amin were accused of plotting an ambush with others in which Khan was forced to hand over his bespoke rose gold diamond-encrusted Franck Muller watch by gunman Dante Campbell, 20. Mohamed and Amin were at the restaurant with another man called Hamza Kulane, who was not on trial.
