In the first video he says the court thought it was right at the time to confiscate the money. His minder tried to seize my phone when I asked Bogus how much he was paying his workers. He was unsuccesful but, unfortunately, the video record button did get knocked off in the scuffle.

Whilst the phone was not running Bogus said that the article in The Times was wrong and he was going to take legal action against them.
When I realised the video had been knocked off I restarted the tape (some of the BBC staff present filmed all this but seem unwillinging to share the full tape with me.)
Here is the second part and you will see Bogus specifically said the court never took the money off him. He makes this clear twice. He makes the curious statement - more of which anon - "I don't have an auntie unfortunately."

Happily the BBC were on hand to try and rescue their man and Rob Mayor gave him a metaphophorical media blowjob. Here is a transcript of the "interview":
Bogus:
"I ran a small business. I have withdrawn some monies from my business account as dividends. Those who run small businesses would know what that means. You withdraw money and account for them properly through regular accounts as dividends. It was convenient for me to send those monies in cash through my uncle's wife rather than my auntie so I passed them onto my uncle's wife. The monies were withdrawn from the bank account. The account was formed properly. Its tax was paid properly through the annual accounts and corporation tax so its a false, misleading, piece and unfortunately those who are politically in opposition to me and to our party are trying to use such false stories to discrdit candidates and our campaign."
Rob Mayor didn't ask him which company he says he took the money from but asked him why he didn't simply wire it to Turkey (assuming the money was legit of course). Dogus went on:
"This was a ten year old story and I used to have.."
Major interjected that electronic transfer was around ten years ago. Dogus continued:
"We did have electronic transfers but the cost of those sending and receiving is higher than sending the money in cash through your, through somebody who is just conveniently going over for a holiday and you just happen to find out they are leaving for holiday in Turkey a day later, the day after you want to transfer the funds so it's not an unusual prcatice amongst communities, amongst small businesses - I mean this is a small business I'm running at the time, I mean ten years ago."
In an odd choice of words given that a Court confiscated the money, Mayor asked why the authorities has been so, er, "upset" about all this. Dogus stated:
"We had a legal erm.. when this happened. My uncle's wife had a lawyer who was later on reported to the SRA [Solicitors' Regulatory Authority] for neglect so it was legal neglect I think rather than anything else."
Now this needs a little analysis. Bogus says he used company money which he had paid tax on though he wasn't asked which of his companies he withdrew the money from. He claims he was just trying to save financial transfer costs by giving the money to "my uncle's wife" - not his "auntie". Then he says that it was his non-auntie's lawyers who were at fault for the confiscation.
This is bizarre. Let us picture the scene at Heathrow airport when the money was seized from the non-Auntie. How did the authorities come to find out the money was not hers? We might suspect that she spilled the beans when the custom's officer started to don the rubber gloves!
But Bogus says the money was NOT seized from him and that her lawyers were involved and messed the case up. Is he saying that the woman he describes as his "uncles's wife" was taken to court and that he intervened to claim the money himself? This makes no sense but remember the words in the second video:
"I had not have £11,500 confiscated of me at all"!!!!
This directly contradicts the story in The Times. They reported:
- His aunt was found at Heathrow airport with £11,500 in silk purses, envelopes and a sock with a zipped compartment. "Most of the money" belonged to him. The Border officials concluded he was trying to smuggle it out of the country for the purposes of "unlawful conduct" including "tax evasion."
- In the Court case Bogus said the money was his and was legit (as above, how was he involved in the first place?) He was cross-examined and the judge upheld the forfeiture under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
- The Times reported that "Dogus could not explain why several of the receipts for his 2009 wedding.... were dated 2010 and had no details about the purchases or the person who paid."
- It was said in the court case that Bogus paid himself a large salary - see the stuff that is coming out about what he pays his workers!
- "Most damagingly" Bogus "could not account for thousands of pounds of cash withrawals from his businesses" which include three restaurants much favoured by Jeremy Corbyn, and other top Labour and Union people (including the heads of the GMB and Unite.)
- In a statement from a spokesperson Bogus says "at the time he disagreed with the judge's decision." Eh? He says there was no court decision against him and so what is he disagreeing with?
Incidentally corporation tax is levied on business profits which would only be calculated after wages etc. And Bogus would pay personal income tax on wages and dividends subject to any reliefs at the time. It doesn't make sense to say that he had paid corporation tax on the money he was trying to "smuggle" out of the country - per The Times.
More eye-popping stuff is coming out. Back in 2003 Bogus was shot! The Evening Standard newspaper in London where Bogus lives - far away from sh*thole Sandwell - reported:
"Armed police are on patrol in North London today after gangsters [my empahasis] fought a battle with guns and weapons, killing one man and injuring 21 others."
Of course, remainer Dogus says he was completely innocent and, indeed, he was seemingly never charged with any offence although the Met did see fit to arrest him on 16th July, 2003!
Much has been made of Bogus paying a kid £3.87 an hour. The wage slip photo (below) is undated but £3.87 was the minimum wage from 1st April, 2015 to October 2016 and so must date from that period. Remember, that this is for work in central London - an incredibly expensive place!
Corbyn, who eats in Bogus's restaurants, wants a four day week but look at the payslip - this poor kid had to work for 47.67 hours to feed the country's "top socialists". Positively Dickensian!
Ok you might say - forget the old baloney from Corbyn and Labour. Bogus was at least paying the legal minimum wage but hang on! Our man fell out with a Turkish/Kurdish organisation and so, er, set up his own, CEFTUS, where he is currently the only director. And there he boasts that he is, in fact, a London Living Wage employer!!!
Well if he pays his employees there the London living wage - currently £10.55 per hour - he doesn't pay most of his restaurant workers - whom he publicly describes as "immigrants" - that figure. You will see in video two above that he is not even paying them £10 an hour - less that the London Living Wage. Bizarrely he said he would not pay them £10 an hour now but will do when there is a Labour Government!!!! This is what is known in the trade as " total b*llocks"!
Come on West Brom folk - for once get your brains into gear and get wise to this guy!
And finally....
Info has come in that a female Sandwell employee bent down to sort out some computer wires and a (named) Supervisor smacked her hard on the arse. There were witnesses - were you one of them? Skidder contact details below.
