Inner London Crown Court has granted a confiscation order against Hamid Sediqi, who was jailed in 2021 after orchestrating more than 60 fraudulent motor insurance claims. He was given three months to pay £210,000 following proceedings brought by the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department.

Detective Chief Inspector Tom Hill from the City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department said: “Sediqi managed to fraudulently accrue hundreds of thousands of pounds by targeting solicitors and insurance companies, and stealing the identities of companies and members of the public.
“Our work doesn’t just stop at conviction, and I’d like to thank IFED’s financial investigators for their determination and diligence in securing the confiscation order.

“This result means that Sediqi will not be able to benefit any further from the money he earned through criminal activity, and shows that IFED has the ability to recover criminal assets and return them to victims of insurance fraud.”

Sediqi also been known as Hamid Sharifi, Najib Sharifi and Kevin Heartbreak. The court concluded that he had made £400,368 in benefit from his criminality and had £210,000 in assets available to repay. The outstanding amount will be revisited by officers from IFED in the future.
