£49,999 to be confiscated from Adnan Nawaz

Just under £50,000 is to be confiscated from criminal Adnan Nawaz, 27, of Kingsway, Rochdale.

Nawaz was one of four brothers jailed in December for his part in a half million pound fraud - he went down for four years nine months.

The four Nawaz Brothers had all been using an internet forum called Darkmarket, where stolen financial information such as credit card data was shared among criminals worldwide.

The "Darkmarket" website was an exclusive club of criminals and membership was by invitation only.

Between the four brothers they had several on-line identities they shared to commit fraud, such as buying, selling and using of compromised card details and laundering the proceeds of their ill-gotten gains through legitimate companies, bank accounts and 'virtual' currencies.

Evidence found by police suggested that they were intending to trade the details to make money and plotted among themselves and others to do so.

The family had also been laundering their ill-gotten gains through buying mobile phone top-ups using the card details of others.
