A fraudster who blew £175,000 on Riyad Mahrez's bank card when he treated himself to a £20,000 trip to Ibiza, gambling and even trips to Nando's, KFC and Greggs has been pictured.
It took the Premier League football star five weeks to realise the money had been taken and block the card which truck driver Sharif Mohamed, 32, had defrauded in 2017.
Mahrez was targeted after an 'unknown person' called up Barclays Bank, posing as the £200,000-a-week Etihad favourite footballer, and ordered a replacement card in his name.
Mohamed travelled from his home in east London to Leicester, where Mahrez was playing at the time so large cash withdrawals from ATMs would appear less suspicious, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.
