We revealed that at least three of Mr Rahman’s council candidates – all of them “agents in law” for Mr Rahman – had themselves cast bogus votes, from fake addresses where they did not live. That alone was enough to prove electoral “corruption” by the Rahman campaign, though evidence from a document examiner that hundreds more votes may have been forged can’t have done the case against Mr Rahman any harm. At least one of the fake addresses has been known to police for years.
