Despite being wanted in UK for license plate scam, the fugitive fraudster has started proceedings against West Midlands Police for unlawfully crushing his Ferrari 458 Spider.

Speaking from Dubai, Khan told the Mail Online :

“I have now started proceedings against West Midlands Police for their unlawful conduct in relation to my Ferrari 458 spider worth 200k.”

“The police had no right to destroy a high valuable asset, to cover up their lies they made numerous different reasons to why they destroyed it but noting can justify the fact it was a lot of wasted money.”

“The police could have sold the car via a police auction or even sold the car in parts, the car was worth more in parts. To give an example a used engine for a Ferrari costs more than £30,000, so you can just imagine what all the parts would have come to if sold.”

“This Ferrari could have been sold to fund the police or even pay towards getting the pot holes fixed, there was so much the police could have done with the money instead they go a crush my Ferrari.”

Khan faces extradition back to the UK after the British police believe they have tracked down his hiding place.
