Mohamed Choudhary has received a two-year suspended sentence from Inner London Crown Court for selling invalid insurance policies and covering up his own driving offences while applying for cover. The prosecution came after Aviva referred the case to the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department.

Jon Radford, head of intelligence, investigations and data services at the Insurance Fraud Bureau, said: "Application fraud has devastating impact on the safety of our roads and this was exemplified by Choudhary's reckless actions. By providing false details to his insurer, not only was he trying to get away with driving while disqualified, but he also tried to make money by providing ghost broking services which left others driving illegally and without valid insurance. We're pleased to see justice be served.”
