Watch: 'We don't pay' - lawyer advises how to avoid £45,000 illegal-worker fine

Secretly filmed by the BBC, solicitor Mohammad Alias Yousaf, known as Alias, told an undercover reporter posing as a mini-mart owner that he could make a £45,000 illegal-working fine go away. He said the owner would need to find someone overseas willing to declare themselves the mini-mart’s owner. Alias denies giving that advice or providing false information to the Home Office. Following the investigation, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a review of how illegal-working fines are issued and collected.
