Mohammad Alias Yousaf is alleged to have advised an undercover reporter posing as the owner of a mini-mart on how to avoid a reported £45,000 fine linked to the employment of illegal workers.
The encounter is presented in video form and centres on a conversation in which Mr Yousaf reportedly made the claim. A line attributed to him says, “We don’t pay”, although the supplied material does not provide the wider context of the remark.
The reporter was posing as a mini-mart owner during the interaction. The material identifies Mr Yousaf as a lawyer but does not give further information about his professional background, the circumstances of the meeting or the specific advice he is alleged to have offered.
No response from Mr Yousaf, details of any investigation, or information about whether anyone was fined or prosecuted is included in the supplied material. The latest available information is therefore limited to the recorded claim and the allegation that it concerned avoiding a £45,000 illegal-worker fine.
