Three of Abu Hamza’s sons have been arrested over fraud and money laundering offences allegedly carried out with the help of a bank worker.

The trio are accused of participating in a £1million scam using stolen details to get loans, cars and launder funds.

29-year-old Yasser was arrested at a west London address as his elder brother Uthman Mustafa Kamel, 31, was held nearby. Tito Ibn Sheikh, 33, once known as Hamza Mustafa Kamel, was later arrested in north London. Three others, including a husband and wife, were also held.

A statement released by the Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrests, saying: “Six people arrested for fraud and money laundering offences have been released on bail.”

The statement added that all six people were arrested at addresses in north, east and west London at 6.00am on Tuesday, 17 December for fraud and money laundering offences. The offences are not terrorism related.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Operations carried out the intelligence-led operation. Searches on seven addresses have since concluded.

According to the Sun, the police believe that a bank worker assisted with the alleged fraud. The six people arrested have been released on bail as inquiries continue.

Abu Hamza, who is serving life without parole in the US for supporting terrorism, fathered Yasser, Uthman and Tito with his second wife Najat Mustafa.
