Yasar Hussain lived in Dubai under a false identity after fleeing his 2012 money laundering trial.
A money launderer who masterminded an energy drink scam then went on the run for 12 years has finally been jailed.
He had raked in more than £312,000 setting up a company to produce an energy drink styled on a famous battery brand, for which he did not have permission, West Yorkshire Police said. Hussain, formerly of Ashburnam Grove, Manningham, had travelled overseas and persuaded four international companies to pay advance fees for the sole distribution rights to the drink in their respective countries, according to police.
According to a 2013 Crimewatch appeal to locate Hussain, the scammer went as far as attending a trade fair in Dubai, along with his associates.
