Speedboat, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and £70k in cash seized by police as Wapping man accused of fraud

A speedboat and luxury Italian supercars are among the vehicles seized by police during the arrest of a London man accused of fraud. Anopkumar Maudhoo, 45, of Wapping, was charged with four counts of fraud by false representation on Friday (September 27), after a probe into a suspected large-scale conveyancing fraud by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU).

The charges followed warrants carried out the day before at 11 locations across London and Radlett, in Hertfordshire. Two men and two women were arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering offences.

Officers also seized a speedboat and 22 high-value cars, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and several others. Documentation and digital devices were also found, along with around £70,000 in cash.

An ERSOU spokesperson said: "The investigation relates to suspected fraudulent activity where victims are thought to have been offered investment opportunities in the purchase of repossessed properties or the re-development of plots of land."

Maudhoo was remanded and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on October 25. Three others were released under investigation, pending further enquiries.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
