• The confiscation order, granted at Chester Crown Court on August 28, requires payment of £90,503,211 or extra time will be added to his sentence.
• Properties in Preston, London and overseas will be sold to satisfy the order, and a seized Ferrari 575 Superamerica will be auctioned.
• HMRC, Lancashire Police and the CPS secured the order following a joint investigation that exposed carousel-style VAT repayment claims and large-scale counterfeit clothing sales.
• Investigators say the proceeds funded an offshore-backed property empire with holdings including Morocco, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
• Co-accused Mohamed Jaffar Ali in Dubai also faces a confiscation order of £677,000, and authorities say recovered funds will support UK public services.
