The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised criminal charges against two people following allegations of an investment scam where a woman transferred £720,000 believing she would receive a substantial return.

Farah Ullah, 43, has been charged with fraud and two counts of transferring criminal property while Syed Hussain, 54, a former West Midlands Police superintendent who has since been dismissed, has been charged with fraud and transferring criminal property.

The pair are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 1 July 2026.
