Man City footballer Riyad Mahrez Image: Clive Brunskill/PA Images A FORKLIFT TRUCK driver who used a bank card belonging to Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez to go on a £175,000 spending spree has been jailed for fraud.

Sentencing Mohamed to three years and eight months in prison, Judge Laurence West-Knights QC said that “staggering sums” of money were stolen. Mohamed, of Forest Gate, east London, previously claimed another member of the group called the bank pretending to be the footballer and that he was only able to use the card under supervision from others.

“You knew jolly well that you had handed the card over to the rest of your group and they would go off and spend a great deal of money on it. The judge said he was satisfied that Mohamed knows more than the nicknames of the people who he claims were also part of the fraud.#Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youThe Crown Prosecution Service confirmed the victim of the scam was Mahrez – a winger who now plays for Manchester City.
